National captain Terry to face prosecution as racial crisis grows
LONDON - England's soccer and legal authorities appeared to be united in their fight against racism on Wednesday after the FA banned Liverpool's Luis Suarez for racial abuse and England captain John Terry was told he faced prosecution for the same offense.
Suarez, 24, was handed an eight-match ban and fined 40,000 pounds ($62,800) on Tuesday after an independent FA commission found him guilty of racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra during a Premier League game at Anfield on Oct 15.
