Roma fined £42,000

          

  In response to the ruling, Roma released a statement condemning the actions of their supporters.In January, a friendly between Milan and Pro Patria in January was suspended because of racist chants aimed at Boateng. In April, Juventus were fined 30,000 euros (£25,700) for their fans' racist abuse of AC Milan players.It read:  "This type of behaviour from any football supporters, including ours, is completely unacceptable. We are committed to facing this issue head-on to rid our sport of this problem and promote respect for all.The Milan v Roma match marked the first time in Italian football where play had been temporarily halted and then re-started, but Allegri questioned the strength of the sanction.The capital club were also warned they could play future league matches behind closed doors should the same events be repeated.Stopping the game doesn't work, it's a happy medium and like all happy mediums, it doesn't do anybody any good," he said. The game was brought to a temporary halt at the start of the second half and an announcement made to supporters ordering them to cease their behaviour before play was resumed.In the aftermath of the Milan and Pro Patria game, Fifa created a special taskforce to tackle the issue. Members included Boateng, Premier League referee Howard Webb, the Football Association's governance and regulation director Darren Bailey and pressure group Football Against Racism in Europe's chief executive Piara Powar.Former Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli, ex-Portsmouth midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng and defender Kevin Constant were part of the Milan team, with the governing body of the Italian league's judgement stating three unnamed players had been abused.
