Uefa have banned Wisla Krakow defender Nikola Mijailovic for five games after he racially abused Blackburn striker Benni McCarthy.
Rovers' 2-1 Uefa Cup win in Poland earlier this month was overshadow by complaints from the Premiership club that McCarthy was the subject of racial slurs.
The Football Association asked Uefa to look at the claims and their Control and Disciplinary Body opened an investigation into the allegations.
Uefa have now found the 24 year old defender guilty and acted quickly to hit Mijailovic with a five game ban.
