Visiting Santos midfielder Arouca reportedly bore the brunt of monkey chants during Wednesday’s 5-2 win at Mogi Mirim in the Sao Paulo League. “The suspension is necessary as the actions of supporters of Mogi Mirim indelibly stain sporting discipline and principles of civility,” FPF said. Rivaldo said statement : “If there has been a case of racism then I am against it.”
