Ouaddou pair banned from club
Two fans who abused Valenciennes' Moroccan captain Abdeslam Ouaddou have been banned from their club for three months.
The pair, who support the French club Metz, were found guilty of making "extremist gestures" of a racist nature.
The incident happened when the two clubs met in the French League earlier this year.
Ouaddou was booked after remonstrating with a spectator during the game.
The referee subsequently said he had been unaware of the abuse and would have stopped the game had he heard it.
Valenciennes had called for the game to be replayed.
