Kiko Casilla banned for eight games over racism

Leeds goalkeeper Kiko Casilla was given an eight-match ban after he was found to have used racist language toward an opponent during a second-tier Championship game.

Casilla denied the charge but a Football Association independent regulatory commission found the breach proven.

The Spaniard has also been fined 60,000 pounds ($77,000) and ordered to attend face-to-face education.


”We would like to make it clear that we do not tolerate any form of discrimination within our football club and we are a leader in the fight against discrimination within our wider community,” Leeds said in a statement Friday..

”However, it is important to recognise that Kiko has always denied making any racist comment.
