This makes the NBA problem look small.

Don't get to excited, "could face" contains no substance.

Sorry Sam, I thought that you would do your own google search to find out what the suspensions were. But since you were too lazy you can read this:

Brawl in Ecuador leads to mass suspensions
Wed Dec 20, 2006 10:09 AM GMT

QUITO (Reuters) - Eleven players were banned for between two and 12 months for taking part in a vicious brawl at the end of LDU's 1-1 draw at home to Barcelona, an Ecuadorean Football Federation official said on Tuesday.

Four Barcelona players were injured in the incident on the last day of the season which shocked the country and overshadowed the title won by El Nacional.

Three LDU players were banned from playing in any soccer league for a year, spokesman Victor Mestanza said.

Ecuador midfielder Patricio Urrutia was suspended for three months and national team mates Giovanni Espinoza and Edwin Tenorio were banned for two.
Among those suspended for a year was former Ecuador striker Agustin Delgado, who has played in two World Cups. He apologised for taking part in the melee in which he was filmed kicking and punching opponents.
