    Baros accused of racism in France

    Baros accused of racism
    By Laurent Picard - Created on 19 Apr 2007

    Lyon striker Milan Baros has found himself at the centre of a racism storm in France, having made a controversial gesture in the direction of Rennes defender Stephane M'Bia.

    The 0-0 stalemate which ensued on Wednesday delayed Lyon's retaining of the French title, but it is the incident between Baros and M'Bia which is currently making the headlines.

    Former Liverpool and Aston Villa forward Baros was seen pinching his nose at M'Bia, in a gesture which suggested the Rennes' man was giving off an unfavourable odour.

    Rennes chairman Frederic de Saint Sernin has wasted little time in coming out to confirm he will watch video footage of the game, before potentially taking legal action against Baros.

    "I don't know exactly what happened but I will be informed quickly," he told Canal+.

    "For the moment I have heard rumours and I am waiting to check the television images.

    "If he did this gesture, I will ask for sanctions because it can't be accepted.

    "The French league condemns racism."

        how is that racist? Maybe he did smell lol...i think its more racist of the french league for them to assume that there is a stereotype of black people smelling bad. I have never heard of such a thing.

            Indeed if anything they are prolonging the sterotype which is in fact more racist.

              it's not that he stank... it's a gesture meaning you "stink" or you "suck"

                  This is racism?? i dont think that. And if the defender was white, what is? Racism from a white to other white?
                  its only bad education or things of football.
