Tottenham Hotspur's Rodrigo Bentancur has been handed a seven-match ban and a £100,000 fine by the FA for a racist remark made during an interview.
The English FA characterized Bentancur's remark as an 'aggravated breach', which included a reference to race and nationality, highlighting the seriousness of the incident.
After initially showing remorse and apologizing to his teammate Son, Bentancur faced backlash for later denying the charges, which undermined his earlier expression of regret.
The commission noted that while Bentancur's initial remorse was commendable, his subsequent defense against the charges contradicted that sentiment, affecting their ruling.
