HONG KONG, Jun 22 (REUTERS) Former Chelsea midfielder Oscar was handed an eight-match ban by Chinese football authorities today for his role in a brawl that broke out during Shanghai SIPG's draw with Guangzhou R&F at the weekend.
The Brazilian, who moved to China for a record transfer fee in January, was also fined 40,000 yuan (5,855 dollar) by the Chinese Football Association in the latest move by the country's authorities to stamp out indiscipline.
