Biscan banned for six months

"Biscan was given the highest possible penalty because he failed to respond to our request that he justify his walkout," said Ante Tomas, president of the Croatian FA disciplinary committee.

The ban started on 8th December 2003 - the day the national team management reported his behaviour to the FA - and will expire on 8th June 2004 - four days before the start of the Euro 2004 finals in Portugal.
