Repeated Infringements
1. Unless otherwise specifi ed, the body shall increase the sanction to be pronounced by half (+ 50%; if this is not possible, another sanction shall be imposed in the form of a fi ne) if an infringement has been repeated. It is not bound by any upper limit determined in this code.
2 The following are considered as repeated infringements:
a) one red card [punishable infringement] preceded by two yellow cards issued during the World Cup fi nal competition in question;
b) two yellow cards issued in two different matches [punishable infringement] preceded by two other yellow cards issued in two other matches during the competition in question;
c) one red card [punishable infringement] preceded by one or several other red cards issued during the previous four matches, regardless of the competition in which the matches are being played;
d) as a general rule, if a judicial body of FIFA has imposed a fi nancial sanction of CHF 20,000 or more, or a time sanction of four mat- ches or four months or more, on the person being sanctioned in the two years prior to committing the infringement in question.
3 The sanction may be increased by half only once whenever this provi- sion applies.
4 These provisions are subject to the special rules governing repeated doping infringements.
