Lyon, Besiktas suspended

Lyon and Besiktas were both handed suspended European bans and fined 100,000 euros each on Wednesday after crowd violence scarred their Europa League quarterfinal clash, UEFA announced.

The French and Turkish teams were excluded from taking part in the next continental club competition for which they qualify but the governing body decided that the suspension will be deferred "for a probationary period of two years".
