Lyon striker Milan Baros has been given a three-match ban by the French professional football league (LFP) for pinching his nose in front of Rennes' Stephane M'Bia.
Czech Republic international Baros, who signed from Aston Villa in January, waved his hand at the Cameroonian midfielder as if wafting away a bad smell during the Ligue 1 champions' goalless draw at Rennes on April 18.
Despite the suspension, which ends the 25-year-old Baros' season, the LFP's disciplinary committee ruled that the gesture had not been racist.
