Blatter condemns Spain over Eto’o

Thu, March 2nd 2006

The problem of racial abuse in Spain rumbles on:

Fifa president Sepp Blatter has described the 9,000 euros fine imposed on Real Zaragoza for the racist abuse of Samuel Eto’o as “ridiculous”.

Even though the 9,000 euros fine (US$10,000) is significantly larger than the usual $700 imposed on Spanish clubs for such offences, Blatter believes the Spanish federation must do more to punish those involved in racist behaviour.

Blatter has called for punishements to include loss of points or even relegation. Eto’o has suggested a 1 year ground closure.
