John Terry has been banned for four matches and fined £220,000 after being found guilty of racially abusing QPR’s Anton Ferdinand by a Football Association independent regulatory commission.

Chelsea’s skipper denied the charge but the commission ruled that he was guilty of
misconduct during the Blues’ Barclays Premier League defeat at QPR on October 23 last year.

The 31-year-old, who on Sunday announced his retirement from international football, can lodge an appeal against the panel’s decision.

Meanwhile Terry’s representatives, Elite Management, said in a statement released on his behalf: ‘Mr Terry is disappointed that the FA Regulatory Commission has reached a different conclusion to the clear not guilty verdict of a court of law.

’He has asked for the detailed written reasons of the decision and will consider them carefully before deciding whether to lodge an appeal.’
