UAAP suspends Mammie, Casajeros, Torres

The UAAP announced yesterday that Commissioner Chito Loyzaga handed down suspensions to three players as a result of their actions over the weekend.

Loyzaga issued two-game suspensions to UE's Charles Mammie and Lord Casajeros, while La Salle's Thomas Torres was handed a one-game suspension. All of their suspensions are due to an accumulation of unsportsmanlike fouls with the "intent to hurt."

Torres was caught throwing a punch to Sam Marata in the 2nd quarter of La Salle's match against UP.

Casajeros hit Terrence Romeo twice in UE's double-OT match against FEU. It was supposed to be a one-match suspension given that  it had been the 2nd instance this season, but due to his "flagrant unsportsmanlike actions," it has been upgraded to two games.

Mammie extended his leg on Romeo on that same game, which led to Romeo reinjuring his foot. Since it is his third such violation, he has been suspended two games.

Mammie and Casajeros are to miss their matches against NU on Saturday and La Salle next Wednesday, while Torres is going to observe his suspension against Ateneo on Sunday.
