BARCELONA ’92 OLYMPICS: DAY 3 : BARKLEY HAS PAID ALL HE WILL PAY

There will be no further disciplinary action against Charles Barkley for elbowing an Angolan players during the U.S.-Angola game Sunday.

Lubomir Kotleba, the technical delegate from FIBA, the international basketball federation, said Monday that Barkley was called for an intentional foul.

After the game, no further report was filed, so the incident is officially over. Kotleba said if a report is filed on a player, it is reviewed by a committee and a player could be suspended for a game, or several games if he purposely punched a player.

If Barkley were to throw an elbow at a player in every game, Kotleba said, the accumulated transgressions could result in a suspension. But severe disciplinary action would be taken only if a player hit a referee.

“In that case,” Kotleba said, “a player could be kicked out of the Olympics.”
