Arsenal Striker Joel Campbell Sanctioned By FIFA For Simulation

It has been reported that Costa Rica winger Joel
Campbell has been sanctioned by FIFA for his act of
simulation in a recent World Cup qualifier against the
USA.
The 21-year old Arsenal forward, on loan to Greek
club Olympiakos, went down behind US defender
Matt Besler during Los Ticos' 3-1 win in San Jose
early last month which cost the Sporting Kansas City
man a yellow card.
Upon review of the footage, FIFA have issued
Campbell with a reprimand for 'violating the
principles of fair play or whose behaviour is otherwise
unsporting.'
A FIFA spokesperson told MLSsoccer.com: "The FIFA
Disciplinary Committee has sanctioned the player
Joel Campbell of Costa Rica with a reprimand for
breaching art. 57 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code (FDC),
also taking into account art. 108 par. 1 and art. 96
par. 1 of the FDC."
