Nicolas Anelka was banned for five games because the 'quenelle' gesture he performed is "strongly associated with anti-Semitism", says the independent panel that ruled on the case. But the commission added it was "not satisfied that Anelka was or is an anti-Semite or that he intended to express or promote anti-Semitism". It also revealed that the Football Association wanted a longer ban. Anelka gestured after scoring for West Brom against West Ham on 28 December.
