 UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against FC Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets, who is alleged to have violated Article 11 bis of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations by directing racist abuse towards a Real Madrid CF player in the UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg between the clubs on 27 April.

The proceedings have been launched on the basis of evidence provided by Real Madrid (video and statement of club and player). The UEFA Control and Disciplinary Body will deal with the case on Sunday 15 May and the decision will be communicated to the club on Monday 16 May.

I'm just glad they finally decided to do something about it. What do you think the outcome will be?

In total contrast to UEFA and this entire incident, here's a demonstration of a positive and proactive response to racism, by the New York Red Bulls & Thierry Henry: Jason Brudereck: Racial remark to teen spurs soccer stars to action (http://readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=306859) (to sum, a kid in the youth leagues in PA was racially taunted during a match, someone told someone told Coundoul and Henry at NYRB, who invited the kid and his dad to come talk with Thierry and the NYRB and NE Revolution managers, who also called Dan Garber about the incident)

Oh that's fantastic of the Red Bulls and Henry to do. At least SOMEBODY in football is reacting positively/proactively to this issue.

:D thanks for sharing this

"Just let them do that," Henry said to Bryan. "Just don't do anything, and then score and smile at them."

^ I Love this man!
