No proofs of Racism found against Juan Cala: La Liga

La Liga has discovered no proof that Juan Cala racially manhandled Mouctar Diakhaby in the wake of investigations that prompted Valencia to walk off from the match.

The league’s findings don’t imply that the case will be shut, with the Spanish football association likewise investigating the episode, yet an assessment of sound accounts and an examination of the recording with the help of lip-perusing specialists didn’t convey evidence that the Cádiz defender alluded to his rival as a “negro de mierda”, which interprets generally as “shitty black”.

Valencia abandoned off the pitch during the main portion of the group game on Sunday, just to later return and play out the remainder of the game – without Diakhaby. Valencia delivered an articulation in which they blamed Cala for exposing their player to bigoted maltreatment and later said that they had decided to proceed without him on account of the danger of relinquishing the game and face further disciplinary action.

La Liga’s underlying examination inferred that there was no proof that Cala utilized bigoted language. “The accessible varying media and advanced records have been inspected: the sound from the game, the pictures broadcast and what has shown up via online media have been investigated,” an assertion from the group said.

“After an investigation of the material, the end has arrived at that in none of the material accessible to the group is there any confirmation that Juan Torres Ruiz offended Mouctar Dikhaby in the terms asserted.

“La Liga has given these reports to the clubs in question so that they can shape part of those continuous examinations.”
