The owner of Panathinaikos decided to ease a bit the tension, as the club prepares for the fans’ vote about the Greens remaining or not in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague.
According to EuroLeague’s bylaws “the non-compliance with an imposed sanction or provisional or conservatory measure adopted by the Euroleague Basketball CEO, the Disciplinary Judge, the
Appeals Judge, the Appeals Panel, the Management Control Commission or the Finance Panel will be considered an additional infringement and penalized by the Euroleague Basketball CEO through a fine of 30,001 euros to 280,000 euros”.
If Giannakopoulos is present in the gym in the game between Panathinaikos and Baskonia, that would be his penalty. Meanwhile, the EuroLeague informed every club of the competition about the ban of Giannakopoulos in order to ensure that he will not be present in any gym.
