Lille president Olivier Létang has been suspended for four months. According to L'Équipe, the FFF appeals committee punished his comments aimed at referees after Lille-PSG (2-2) on 28 August in Ligue 1, as Foot Mercato also reports.
RMC Sport says the sentence is six months, two of them suspended. In the first instance, Létang had received only a €20,000 fine.
In a statement reported by L'Équipe, the club says the ruling sets a worrying precedent for football and that it intends to pursue every necessary avenue of appeal.
On the pitch, second-placed Lille, on 18 points after 9 matches in Ligue 1, travel to Rennes on 8 November at 14:00 Casablanca time.
