Memphis avoids STJD punishment over phone use

Memphis Depay will not be sanctioned for using his mobile phone on the bench during Corinthians’ Campeonato Brasileiro match against Flamengo at Neo Química Arena, after a hearing at the STJD on Thursday.

According to Globo.com, the 32-year-old was cited under article 191 of the CBJD for failing to comply with regulations, and a R$ 1,000 fine was later converted into a warning.

He said he used the device to liaise with Netherlands medical staff and to report a right thigh injury sustained in the second half.

An initial charge under article 258, covering conduct contrary to sporting discipline or ethics, was dismissed by the auditors. That article carried a possible suspension of one to six matches and a proportional fine.

Corinthians were fined R$ 54,000 for two separate breaches, article 206 for a four minute delay to the second half restart and article 213 for disorder and objects being thrown onto the pitch.
