Marseille's ex-Manchester United keeper Fabien Barthez has had his ban for spitting extended until 31 December.
He had been banned for six months with three suspended but the French Football Federation appealed against its own discplinary commission's decision.
"The appeal committeee handed Fabien Barthez a suspension until December 2005," the FFF said on their website.
The sanction would be cut to 15 October if Barthez agreed to do community work, the statement said.
The February game between Marseille and Wydad Casablanca was stopped after the incident.
The initial punishment was rubber-stamped on 22 April.
