Roma captain Francesco Totti has been hit with a hefty fine for allegations earlier in the season that Inter were receiving help from the referees.

Totti felt that referee Roberto Rosetti lost control of the game in the latter stages when he controversially dismissed Philippe Mexes and overlooked three Nicolas Burdisso fouls on Rodrigo Taddei.
“It seems to me that Inter receive some help,” he raged the day after the game.
“They win because they are the best or because they have help. When Roma slip up they lose, but that never happens to Inter.”
Totti has been found guilty of: “calling into question the legitimacy of the championship and damaging, directly or indirectly, the prestige and credibility of federal institutions.”
The Roma hero must now pay a fine of around £7,800 – a decision that is unlikely to improve his mood as he sits on the sidelines with a serious right knee injury.
