Eto`o may face Spanish sanctions (18.01.2006)
FC Barcelona striker Samuel Eto`o and Athletic Bilbao coach Javier Clemente may be disciplined over a spitting incident after Spain`s Higher Sports Council requested action.
The Cameroonian striker spat at an opponent, while Clemente made allegedly racist remarks about the incident.
The state-run council asked its Anti-Violence Commission to take up the case when it meets on Wednesday.
"We have reason to hope that the Anti-Violence Commission will study these incidents and take the necessary measures," an unidentified council source told news agency Efe.
"Attitudes and comments of this nature should be rejected and do nothing to help good sporting order."
Television pictures
showed Eto`o, now on African Nations Cup duty with Cameroon, spitting at Bilbao defender Unai Exposito in the final moments of Sunday`s Spanish league game, which Barcelona won 2-1.
"I thought those who spat had just come down from the trees," Clemente, a former Spain coach, said at the post-match news conference.
Eto`o, who comes from Cameroon, told Punto Radio on Monday that his spitting wasn`t directed at Exposito.
The commission may call on the country`s football federation to punish Eto`o and Clemente.
Last year, the Spanish federation, acting at the behest of the council, fined Spanish coach Luis Aragones US$3,600. after making a racist comment about Arsenal striker Thierry Henry.
