The eight-match suspension handed to Leeds United goalkeeper Kiko Casilla for using racist language shows that kind of behaviour will not be tolerated, Football Association official Paul Elliott says.
Casilla was handed the ban and a £60,000 for the offence last week after being found guilty of using a racial slur against West Bromwich attacker Jonathan Leko in September 2019.
Elliott believes the governing body's punishment is a strong deterrence for any more offensive behaviour and that zero tolerance will be allowed on the issue.
