CINCINNATI -- A person in the NFL tells The Associated Press that Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco has been fined $30,000 for donning a poncho and sombrero after scoring a touchdown.
The person spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity because the league has not made any announcement about the fine.
The punishment was first reported by ESPN.com.
Ochocinco wore a gray poncho and black sombrero after catching a TD pass in Cincinnati's 23-13 victory over the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
NFL rules prohibit players from bringing any extraneous object onto the field.
This punishment comes about a month after Ochocinco was fined $20,000 and reprimanded by the NFL for pretending to bribe an official a dollar.
