Bergkamp fined again (Allsport)
03/21/2003. Dennis Bergkamp was fined ?500 yesterday by the Football Association for his clash with Lee Bowyer in the Premiership match with West Ham in January.
The Dutchman was seen elbowing Bowyer just as he crossed the ball for Theirry Henry to score in the Gunners 2-1 victory.
He was charged with improper conduct after the incident, but Bergkamp didn't request a personal hearing and has been handed a heavy fine and warned about his future behaviour.
Bergkamp was also fined ?,000 earlier this season in December for stamping on Blackburn Rovers defender Nils-Eric Johansson.
Dennis Bergkamp was today fined ?,500 by the Football Association and given a reprimand and warning over his future conduct after admitting elbowing Lee Bowyer.
The Arsenal striker was charged with improper conduct following the incident during Arsenal's 3-1 win over West Ham on January 19.
He held his hands up over the clash and did not request a personal hearing so an FA disciplinary committee met today to hand out their punishment.
The Hammers were furious when Bergkamp appeared to elbow Bowyer seconds before crossing for Thierry Henry to head his second goal in the 3-1 victory.
The incident left Bowyer clutching his head and prompted Hammers boss Glenn Roeder to say afterwards: 'Bergkamp clearly put his hand in Lee's face and pushed him over.
'He knows he's been fouled and the majority of people in the ground saw it - but the most important person didn't (referee Mike Dean) and we've been punished.'
