BEIJING, Dec. 14 (Xinhua) -- Lou Ming, owner of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) club Zhejiang Lions, was Monday banned one game and fined RMB 10,000 (around 1,530 US dollars) for criticizing referee in a recent match.

In Saturday's Zhejiang derby against the Golden Bulls, Lou left the team bench to rebuke the referee with 4:07 remaining in the second quarter, which was deemed as a violation against the CBA regulations.

The league's governing body imposed a one-match suspension and fine of RMB 10,000 on Lou, who will miss the game against the bottom sides Fujian Sturgeons on Monday. Enditem
