Nicolas Anelka banned and fined £80,000 for 'quenelle' gesture
West Brom striker Nicolas Anelka has been banned for five matches for his controversial "quenelle" gesture after being found guilty by an FA hearing.
He has also been fined £80,000 and ordered to complete a compulsory education course, pending an appeal.
Anelka, 34, denied his use of the sign, described as an "inverted Nazi salute", was anti-Semitic.
He made the action during West Brom's draw with West Ham in December, and was found guilty after a two-day hearing.
