La Liga find no evidence of racism after investigation into Cala-Diakhaby case

La Liga claim to have found no evidence of wrongdoing during its investigation into allegations Cadiz defender Juan Cala racially abused Valencia star Mouctar Diakhaby during a fixture on April 4.

Midway through the first-half, Diakhaby became visibly angered by comments by Cala, leading to him and his Los Che team-mates leaving the field.

Play eventually resumed but a cloud was cast over Spanish football as Diakhaby accused Cala of calling him a "sh*tty black", leading to La Liga looking into the incident.
