New York, NY (Sports Network) - The MLS Disciplinary Committee has fined New

embellishment intended to deceive the referee in the 42nd minute of the club's
match against Philadelphia Union on March 16.
It was also announced that Chivas USA assistant coach Walter Fleita has been
fined $500 for irresponsible behavior in the technical area during the game
against Los Angeles Galaxy on March 17.
