Why was Drogba banned for three Champions League matches?

Question

The Chelsea star was banned for three European matches at the start of the 2009/10 season – why?

Answer 1

It stemmed back to his reaction after the final whistle in the Champions League semi-final clash against Barcelona at Stamford Bridge. Drogba was so incensed by referee Tom Ovrebo’s performance that he shouted at the television cameras branding his display as a “disgrace” – that’s the pre-watershed version of events, anyway.
