UEFA rejects any doubt over Nedved yellow card

The Czech Republic have asked the UEFA football association to look into an incident which resulted in the Czech national football side's captain Pavel Nedved receiving a yellow card against Denmark at last Sunday's quarter-final at Euro 2004. Petr Fousek, the general secretary of the Czech Football Association, said on Tuesday the move was not a formal appeal, which is not allowed under the European body's disciplinary procedure, but indicated the matter needed looking in to. UEFA, however, responded earlier than expected, saying Nedved's yellow card would stand.
