La Liga says no evidence of racism found after studying Cala footage

MADRID - La Liga said it had found no evidence Cadiz player Juan Cala directed racist language at Valencia's Mouctar Diakhaby during a game on Sunday.

Spain's football league said on Friday it analysed audiovisual material available from the game, as well as hiring a lip reading expert in order to investigate the accusations. Diakhaby reacted furiously after an altercation with Cala in the 28th minute of the game, believing the defender had used derogatory language related to the colour of his skin.
