Baros suspended but cleared of racism

The French football association has cleared Czech international Milan Baros of accusations of racism. However, the Lyon striker was found guilty of unsporting behaviour and banned for three games, after holding his nose and making a wafting motion at a black player from an opposing team. Baros's suspension is bad news for the Czech national team, as he could lack match fitness ahead of a Euro 2008 qualifier against Wales on June 2.
