The Hindu  

The office of Czech President Milos Zeman on Thursday condemned the 10-match ban given to Slavia Prague defender Ondrej Kudela for racially abusing a Black opponent in a Europa League match. In an open letter sent to the UEFA disciplinary committee, office chancellor Vratislav Mynar said Kudela wasn't proven to be guilty. READ | "Despite that you decided to punish a player who didn’t harm anyone and only verbally — in his words — offended his opponent," Mynar said. He said Zeman has been informed of the development and expressed his sympathy with all those who are disappointed by the verdict.Slavia published apologies by the club and its player to Kamara and offered to work "with major anti-racism British organisations."
