A Regulatory Commission has suspended Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney for two matches.
Rooney had admitted a charge for the use of offensive, insulting and / or abusive language, but claimed that the automatic penalty of two games was clearly excessive.
The Commission did not accept the claim and Rooney will begin the standard two match suspension with immediate effect.
The charge relates to an incident during his side’s fixture with West Ham United at the Boleyn Ground on Saturday 2 April 2011.
