The MLS Disciplinary Committee announced suspensions and fines for Seattle Sounders defender Chad Marshall and Colorado Rapids midfielder Marcelo Sarvas on Thursday, and found Columbus Crew SC in violation of the league's mass confrontation policy for the second time this season.
Sarvas was suspended two games and fined an undisclosed amount for making contact with Clint Dempsey while Dempsey was on the ground in the 40th minute of the Seattle Sounders' 3-1 win over the Colorado Rapids on Saturday (VIDEO). The play was deemed to be violent conduct that endangered the safety of an opponent.
