Tottenham Hotspur have imposed indefinite bans on three supporters who made Nazi salutes during their Champions League match at Eintracht Frankfurt in January. The club described the behaviour as 'utterly abhorrent conduct' and confirmed the individuals have been identified and banned under its sanctions policy.
UEFA fined Spurs €30,000 for the racist and discriminatory behaviour and handed them a suspended ban on selling tickets to away fans for one match. The ban will be activated if further incidents occur within a one-year probationary period. The club also received a €2,250 fine for the throwing of objects by fans during the 2-0 win on 28 January.
Tottenham cooperated fully with UEFA's investigation and with German and British police. In a statement, the club said it 'stands firmly against all forms of discrimination' and that the actions of a minority did not reflect its values.
Spurs' next Champions League fixture is a last-16 tie away to Atletico Madrid on 10 March. The club is currently enduring a difficult Premier League run, having gone 10 matches without a win.
