Pep faces 'liar' investigation

Pep faces liar investigation

The Spanish footballing authorities are to investigate 'liar' accusations made by Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola.

Guardiola hit out at referee Clos Gomez and his assistant following the game with Almeria two weeks ago.

He made the accusations last Friday, calling them 'liars' for what they included in their report about the Barca coach's complaints which saw him sent off in the match which ended as a draw.

The Appeals Committee decided not to rescind the punishment and Guardiola was forced to sit in the stands for Sunday's 3-0 victory over Valencia.

But Spanish media report that the Competition Committee is now to investigate Guardiola regarding the comments and - depending on the findings - could suspend the Barca coach for more matches.
