Canadian Soccer News has learned that Montreal Impact captain Nevio Pizzolitto has been suspended indefinitely by the Canadian Soccer Association pending his attendance at another CSA discplinary hearing.
Pizzolitto did not attend his original hearing before the CSA discplinary committee, scheduled for Monday of last week, and according to the CSA did not send a representative - legal counsel or otherwise - in his place to answer to accusations lodged by a fan over an alleged spitting incident.

Pizzolitto had previously requested an adjournment to this hearing but the CSA had denied his request in writing.
The CSA has now informed the Montreal Impact and Pizzolitto that he is suspended until he requests, in writing, another formal hearing, submits a $1,000 fine to the CSA and attends the, as yet, unscheduled hearing.
Canadian Soccer News will continue to update this story as it develops.
