APPENDIX 2 - Euroleague Basketball

the club must, within three working days following the date of
execution, replace the bank guarantee with EP for the amount
established for the competition in which it is participating (if the
full amount of the guarantee has been executed), or complete
the guarantee with the executed amount (so that the full
amount thereof is available). Should a club participating in the
Qualifying Rounds not pay economic sanctions that have been
applied, EP may withdraw the security deposit paid by the club
for its participation in the Qualifying Rounds in order to cover
these economic sanctions.
136.4. Besides any economic sanctions, the compensation for any
damages caused by the infringement will be at the expense of
the infringing club or member association.
Article 137.
Liability in Solidum
The member associations or clubs are always jointly responsible
(liability in solidum) for economic sanctions, either main or
accessory, imposed on their players, coaches, team followers,
executives or any other person associated with the club or
undertaking official functions on behalf of the member
association or club.
Article 138.
Setting of Sanctions
In setting sanctions, account will be taken of the damage that
the penalised conduct entails for the image of the Euroleague,
ECA, EP and/or the Company, the other member associations,
and the sport of basketball in general. The body ordering the
sanction may also take into account other ancillary
circumstances of the infringement in setting the sanction to be
applied.
Aggravating circumstances will include recidivism during the
three previous seasons, recurrence, bribery, economic damages
caused and any instances of fraud arising in the competition.
Disciplinary duty will cease when the sanction is fulfilled, when
the infringements and the sanctions expire, at the time of the
infringing party’s death or the dissolution of the member
association or club, and through the granting of a pardon.
