Queens Park Rangers were fined 20,000 pounds and given a further 20,000 pound suspended fine for a brawl in a friendly against a Chinese Olympic side in February.

The 2nd division club admitted that a charge of failing to ensure its "players and/or officials conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and refrained from violent and/or threatening and/or provocative behaviour", the FA mentioned on Friday.

QPR assistant coach Richard Hill was found guilty of a charge of violent conduct and suspended from all football and football management until Sept 30. He has 14 days to appeal.

The more fine is suspended until May 31 next year.

The brawl erupted in a training ground game on February 7 when Shanghai Shenhua forward Gao Lin clashed with a Rangers player. Gao mentioned he was provoked and failed to control himself.

China′s Zheng Tao was knocked unconscious and taken to a hospital with a broken jaw. Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher abandoned the game.

7 members of the China team were sent home early from the tour following the fight. Police launched an investigation, whilst Hill was suspended by the west London club.
