I don't doubt it was many years ago, and no doubt he has changed as a person. We all do stupid things in our youth, we all make mistakes and we all learn and grow with life experience. But the ECB can't carry on as if nothing has happened, given the anti discrimination messages they have been so public with - and its right they are taking that approach.

I do feel a bit sorry for them here, they are in between a rock and a hard place. I would think a 1 match test ban and perhaps some community work will satisfy all.
I hear what you are saying and if there has to be a punishment, which I don't agree with by the way, make it just one Test. Having said all this, what 'saddo' has been trawling through tweets made eight years ago. it's a pity that these people don't use their time more constructively to help society instead of wasting their time with such absurdities. They won't though because they are immersed in their cretinous ideology .
