Two-match ban for Latvia's Arnolds Straume

The Court of Handball has decided to impose a 2-match suspension from EHF national team competitions on Arnolds Straume.

The player was directly disqualified in the 29th minute of the Men’s EHF Championship 2018 match, Montenegro vs Latvia, for having verbally insulted an EHF referee after he received a two-minute suspension.

The deciding panel qualified the behaviour as seriously unsportsmanlike deserving further sanctions. An appeal may be filed with the Court of Appeal within seven days.
