Kick It Out: If guilty, referee can't work again

THE fourth official at the centre of the racism controversy in Tuesday’s aborted Champions League clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Istanbul Basaksehir will struggle to work again if allegations against him are upheld, according to Kick It Out chair Sanjay Bhandari.
Uefa has launched an investigation into the Group H encounter which was abandoned after 13 minutes when both sets of players walked off in the wake of a red card being shown to Basaksehir’s assistant manager Pierre Webo.
Subsequent video footage showed the Cameroonian accusing fourth official Romanian Sebastian Coltescu of using racist language, with Basaksehir striker Demba Ba also remonstrating with the official.
