REAL Madrid coach Jose Mourinho had a suspended one-match ban dropped on Monday and his team's fine was also reduced on appeal after claims he instructed players to deliberately get red cards so they could serve bans in a meaningless game.
Mourinho is suspended for today's Champions League game against Auxerre, but UEFA's appeals body rescinded a further one-match ban which was to be imposed if he was found guilty within the next three years of what it called "improper conduct."
UEFA reduced Real's overall fine for its actions in the 4-0 win at Ajax on November 23 from 120,000 euros (US$160,000) to 100,000 euros (US$133,000).
Mourinho's fine was reduced to 10,000 euros (US$13,300).
Fines against Xabi Alonso, Sergio Ramos, Iker Casillas and Jerzy Dudek all stood, as did Alonso and Ramos' one-match suspensions.
The pair will still start the knockout rounds in February with a clean slate.
Mourinho had denied the accusations but footage of the match showed him apparently sending instructions from the bench immediately before Alonso and Ramos received second yellow cards for time-wasting late on.
Casillas and Dudek apparently passed on Mourinho's orders.
