The Executive Committee of Europe\u2019s football Governing Body, UEFA, has approved a minimum of ten match ban for both players and officials found guilty of racist offence in European Clubs or International Games.<\/p>\n

General Secretary Gianni Infantino, told a News Conference in London that Clubs would also face partial closure of stadia for first incident of racist abuse by Fans and a full closure for a second offence with a 50,000 Euros fine.<\/p>\n

Infantino also announced a new anti-doping initiative which includes the launch of a research study into profiles of about 900 players who participated in UEFA Competitions since 2008.<\/p>\n

The new sanctions adopted will initially apply to all Matches in European competitions with UEFA hoping its Members do same for their domestic Games.<\/p>\n

The new rules are expected to take effect from June 1, 2013.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
