In the weeks before the virus took hold across the world, Alli posted a Snapchat clip in which he made fun of an Asian man in an airport departure lounge in February. On that day, he was seen wearing a face mask and the video had the title: “Corona whattt, please listen with volume”.
The video cut to an unsuspecting man of Asian appearance before panning to a bottle of antiseptic hand wash, underneath which appeared the caption: “This virus gunna have to be quicker than that to catch me”.
Dele Alli later deleted the post and posted an apology to the Chinese social media network Weibo.
He was charged with misconduct by the FA on February 26 and his case has now been heard.
The one-game suspension means Alli will miss Tottenham’s game at home to Manchester United on June 19, their first of the resumed season.
Apart from the one-game ban, Dele Alli was also fined £50,000 ($63,000) and must undertake a face-to-face education course.
After the FA issued the ban, Alli expressed regret for his action. “In response to the FA decision, I would like to apologise again for any offence caused by my behaviour,” he said.
Dele Alli furthered said, “It was an extremely poorly judged joke about a virus that has now affected us more than we could ever have imagined.”
Everyone should know that coronavirus is real and should adhere to all guidelines and preventive measures given to control the spread of it across the world.
