Moreno Gets Additional Punishment

The MLS Disciplinary Committee has decided to hand out an additional one-game suspension and $250 fine to D.C. United's Jaime Moreno as a result of his red card infraction this past weekend in United's 3-0 loss at FC Dallas. The latest fine and suspension will be added to the standard 1-game ban and $250 fine given for a red card offense.
Moreno was ejected in the 84th minute of play by referee Ricardo Salazar after landing an elbow to the face of Dallas midfielder Andre Rocha while battling for the ball. As a result, the Bolivian will have to sit out United's home game against Chivas USA on Saturday as well as their away tilt against the Houston Dynamo next Sunday.

"I didn't see it, but it's something that Jaime has to do a better job with," said United head coach Tom Soehn of the incident. "Whether he's provoked or whatever, he's got to be smart enough to know that these next games count."
