PRAGUE (AP)—The top-division Czech soccer team Olomouc has been fined more than $235,350 and stripped of points for match-fixing.

The Czech soccer federation ruled Thursday that Olomouc will have nine points deducted from the standings for paying a bribe. Olomouc goalkeeper Petr Drobisz was fined $11,750 and banned from soccer for 18 months for giving $17,650 to Bohemians Prague players to lose a game at the end of the 2008-09 season.

Olomouc won the game 3-0 and qualified for European competition. The team denies any wrongdoing and says it will appeal.

Separately, Drobisz and two former Bohemians players—Miroslav Obermajer and David Zoubek—were charged with bribery and face trials.
