Former Tottenham Star Taricco Suspended for Racist Gesture in South Korea

Former Tottenham Hotspur defender Mauricio Taricco has been suspended for five matches and fined 20 million won ($13,600) by the K League after making a racist “slant-eye” gesture toward a referee in South Korea. Taricco, now assistant coach at Jeonbuk, was sent off after contesting a penalty call and then reportedly shouted the Spanish word for “racist” before pulling his eyes back with his fingers. K League officials ruled his behavior racist and referenced similar gestures as grounds for prior FIFA sanctions. Taricco claimed he was simply questioning whether the referee saw the handball, but the league rejected his explanation. Jeonbuk, under manager Gus Poyet, won the first-division title this season, with Taricco as assistant. The duo have worked together in England, Greece, Spain, China, and France. The K League emphasized zero tolerance for actions widely perceived as racist.

Google to Pay $36m Fine in Australia Over Android Search Deals

Google has agreed to pay a US$36 million fine after admitting to anti-competitive agreements with two major Australian telecom firms, Telstra and Optus. Australia’s Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) said the deals, in place between December 2019 and March 2021, required the telecom companies to pre-install only Google’s search engine on Android devices. In return, both firms received a share of Google’s advertising revenue. The ACCC described the arrangements as harmful to competition, noting they reduced consumer choice and potentially led to higher costs and poorer service. “Conduct that restricts competition is illegal in Australia,” said ACCC chair Gina Cass-Gottlieb. Google, which cooperated with the investigation, admitted the agreements were likely to have substantially lessened competition. The company said it was satisfied to have resolved the matter and stressed that such provisions were no longer part of its contracts. Both […]
