Jestrovic handed three game ban after racial abuse of Momo


Anderlecht striker Nenad Jestrovic was banned for three matches on Monday following his sending-off in a Champions League match against Liverpool last week.
Uefa decided that Jestrovic had racially insulted Sissoko during after an altercation in the second half at Anfield. The Serbian will be ruled out of Anderlecht's final Champions League games and another European game next season.

Jestrovic has already pleaded his innocence and has until Thursday to appeal.

Personally I think the ban is not long enough. If Uefa are convinced that it was racist abuse they should have dealt with him more harshly and made a proper example out of him.

Please post your views.
