FA hands Bentancur seven-match ban for an alleged racist remark about Son Heung Min
TOTTENHAM midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has been given a seven-match domestic ban by the Football Association for an alleged racist remark made about team-mate Son Heung Min in a Uruguayan TV interview.
Bentancur was charged by the FA on September 12 with an alleged misconduct breach in relation to a media interview, which emerged in June.
While an apology from Bentancur was swiftly forthcoming, due to this being an “aggravated breach,” an independent regulatory commission panel were required to either uphold the FA charge or dismiss the case.
