Tevez accepts City misconduct rap

MANCHESTER CITY striker Carlos Tevez will not contest the club’s ruling that he was guilty of misconduct in the Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich.

City last month fined Tevez four weeks’ wages, later reduced to two weeks’ following intervention by the Professional Footballers’ Association, after a disciplinary panel found the player guilty of five breaches of contract relating to his behaviour on the bench during the match in Munich, on September 27.

The 27-year-old was also suspended for two weeks — although that punishment was deemed to have already been served — and with the deadline for lodging an appeal passing yesterday, Tevez opted against doing so.
