Burnley forward Andre Gray has been suspended for four matches commencing with immediate effect for misconduct in respect of social media comments.
It was alleged that six postings on his Twitter account were abusive and/or insulting and/or improper and/or brought the game into disrepute contrary to Rule E3(1).
It was further alleged that these breaches of Rule E3(1) included a reference to sexual orientation and/or gender and/or colour and/or race contrary to Rule E3(2).
The player admitted to three of the breaches, and denied the remaining three were in breach of FA Rules.
Following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing yesterday [22 September 2016], the remaining three breaches were found proven.
The player was also fined £25,000, warned as to his future conduct and ordered to attend an FA education course.
