A meeting of the Disciplinary Panel of the ECB was held this morning to consider an article appearing under the name of Mark Butcher in the Croydon Advertiser on 24 May 2002. The Panel found that the terms of the article were in breach of the Board's directives in relation to public statements.
Mark Butcher was reprimanded and fined £1,000 with costs of £500. The panel took into account than an immediate apology was made by him after publication had appeared.
Butcher has the right of appeal within 14 days.
