Dele All banned for one game and fined £50,000 by FA

Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli has been handed a one-match ban by the Football Association over a post on social media about coronavirus. The 24-year-old posted a video on Snapchat in February in which he joked about the outbreak and appeared to mock an Asian Man. Alli has also been fined £50,000 and ordered to undertake an education course. He will miss Tottenham's match at home to Manchester United on 19 June. In a statement, the FA said: "The Tottenham Hotspur FC player denied that a social media post breached FA Rule E3(1), as it was insulting and/or improper and/or brought the game into disrepute, and constituted an "Aggravated Breach", which is defined in FA Rule E3(2), as it included a reference, whether express or implied, to race and/or colour and/or ethnic origin and/or nationality. "However, it was subsequently found proven by an independent Regulatory Commission." Source: BBC
