OFFICIAL STATEMENT: The French Handball Federation has to pay two fines for mishandling an international transfer.
 

The EHF Court of Handball rendered its decision in a disciplinary procedure against the French Handball Federation in a case relating to a transfer between federations.

The federation shall pay a fine of €3,000 for having failed to report the complete transfer of the player Audrey Tuzolana.

The federation shall also pay a fine of €5,000 for having illegally issued a playing permit to the player. Furthermore, the player shall not be eligible to participate in any competition until the valid issuance of an international transfer certificate.

The Court of Handball pointed out that the French Handball Federation has been already sanctioned for similar infringements, i.e. fourth violation in five years, and therefore has decided to consider this as an aggravating circumstance in determining the applicable sanction.

An appeal may be filed with the EHF Court of Appeal within seven days.
