Two men have been fined for racially abusing Samuel Eto`o Fils
Two supporters of Spanish club Albacete are being fined for making monkey noises at Barcelona and Cameroon`s Samuel Eto`o Fils.
The US$8,200 fines were handed out on Thursday by Spain`s national anti-violence commission.
The pair were also banned from sporting events for a period not exceeding five months, the commission said, adding that fellow suporters had pointed out the two men to police.
Eto`o was also the target of apparent
racial abuse from Getafe fans during Barcelona`s 2-1 win on 27 November, as yet no action has been taken in this case.
The latest fine follows a decision on Wednesday by Spain`s Football Federation to open disciplinary proceedings against Spanish national team coach Luis Aragones after he made racist comments about Thierry Henry of France and Arsenal.
As well as a substantial fine Aragones could even lose his job over the comments he made in a training session in October to Henry`s Arsenal teammate Jose Antonio Reyes.
