Soccer Extreme : Serie A and B matches this weekend will kick off 15 minutes late in protest at the outcome of a doping case, the Italian players' association said on Friday.

Napoli winger Daniele Mannini and Brescia striker Davide Possanzini were banned for a year by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on Thursday after arriving late for a drugs test in 2007.

"The board of the Italian players' association (AIC), in solidarity with players Mannini and Possanzini and in protest at the scandalous sentence given to them, has decided that teams will enter the field 15 minutes late in the next round of Serie A and B," AIC said in a statement.

The pair, who both played for Serie B side Brescia at the time of the test, were banned for 15 days in March by an Italian Olympic Committee judge but the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) appealed to CAS and asked for tougher sentences.
