Longobardi Scafati Basket has announced that it has filed an appeal against a sanction imposed by the Italian Basketball Federation under Article 13, paragraph 4, of the DOA.
The sanction concerns the omission of Marco Ceron from the game roster. According to the club, Ceron had travelled with the team but was removed from the list after suffering a severe bout of flu, accompanied by a specific medical prohibition against taking part in the match.
Scafati identifies General Manager Antimo Lubrano as the club official who took the decision to remove Ceron from the roster in light of those circumstances.
The club says it expects the appeal proceedings to examine the documented circumstances surrounding the case and potentially revoke the sanction. In its statement, Scafati also publicly reaffirmed its confidence in the sports justice bodies.
The outcome and timing of the appeal have not yet been established.
