- Player found to have used racist language against Charlton
- Leeds hit out at FA ruling while keeper denies the charge
The Leeds goalkeeper Kiko Casilla has been given an eight-match ban after he was found to have used racist language towards a Charlton player during a Sky Bet Championship match in September.
Casilla had denied the charge but an independent regulatory commission found the breach proven. The Spaniard has also been fined £60,000 and ordered to attend face-to-face education.
Casilla was alleged to have made the discriminatory comments towards Jonathan Leko during the fixture on 28 September.
