Romelu Lukaku’s ban overturned in statement against racism

The Hindu  

Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku will play in the Coppa Italia semifinal second leg against Juventus on Wednesday after his one-match ban was overturned on Saturday by the president of the Italian Football Federation as a measure to fight racism. Inter expressed its disappointment on Friday when Italy’s Sports Court of Appeal upheld the ban for Lukaku, imposed after his expulsion for a second yellow card, saying the Belgian player had been punished despite being racially abused in the semifinal’s first leg. The report indicated “unequivocally that the behaviour of the player sanctioned by the match director followed the serious and repeated displays of hatred and racial discrimination by the opposing fans”, the FIGC statement added. “This has shown that the desire is there to fight racism.” The striker was subjected to racial abuse during the first leg at Juventus “before, during, and after the penalty” he scored to earn Inter a 1-1 draw, the player’s representatives said.
