FEB 24, 2017 LISTEN

French side Bastia have been handed a one-point penalty following racist abuse of Nice striker Mario Balotelli.

The club has been sanctioned after it failed to control its supporters during their Lique 1 clash last month.

They have also been ordered to close their East Stand for the next three home games.

Balotteli was subjected to racial abuse during their 1-1 draw and the French Professionals Football League has wielded the disciplinary axe.

Meanwhile, the Ghanaian-born Italian has been banned for one game after he was sent off in Nice's 1-0 win against Lorient last week.
