Defeat for football: Napoli on losing appeal against player's ban

Italian club Napoli called an Italian court's decision a 'grave defeat for football' after the club's appeal against the two-match ban on Senegalese defender Kalidou Koulibaly was rejected. Koulibaly had been handed the ban for mocking the referee's decision after being subjected to racist chants from the crowd in a match against Inter Milan at the San Siro in December.
