The commission explained the reason for Marinakis' ban, saying there was"no excuse" for such an"an egregious display of disrespectful behaviour" that could"fuel disrespect towards match officials". Marinakis said the incident was unintentional, citing a cough from smoking cigars, but the commission dismissed this, noting no mention of coughing in officials' statements and backing it with CCTV footage.
Marinakis suggested a ban from the tunnel and dressing room, but the commission rejected this, given his limited need to be there after games.
