A Serbian volleyball player has been banned for two matches after making a racist gesture during a game against Thailand last week.
Sanja Djurdjevic was pictured on camera narrowing her eyes with her fingers, causing outrage from fans online.
The player has since apologised along with the Volleyball Federation of Serbia, who described the incident as a "simple misunderstanding".
The federation has also been fined 20,000 Swiss francs (£15,832; $22,392).
The money will be donated to "a cause tackling discriminatory behaviour and/or to fund educational programmes on cultural sensitivity for the global Volleyball Family," the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) announced on Tuesday.
Djurdjevic will miss her team's upcoming matches against Belgium and Canada.

Squinting is racist?
She pulled her eyes sideways just like we used to do when we were kids.
I saw 3 Chinese workers at my favorite Chinese restaurant open up their eyes with their fingers to make fun of a rude guy in front of me as he left.
I just laughed.
we all know that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. 8>)
People just misuderstood her intentions.
Not Guilty!!
Just clearing that pollen stuff
I saw the headline and figured it was the Babylon Bee.
Asian shaming? 🐪💩
I do not need to ask if Laz would hit it! She can make funny faces at me all day and all night.
Many, not all, Asians would be offended by what this Serbian player did...Making fun of how Asian eyes look...”Slanted eyes” gesture...Yuli Gurriel, of Houston Astros, once had to apologize to pitcher Yu Darvish for doing the same thing as this Serbian player...Yu Darvish was born in Japan...MLB also suspended Gurriel for 5 games...
The international federation had to do something in this case...International volleyball tournaments are often held in China and Japan...Chinese and Japanese volleyball federations would be upset if the international federation did nothing...
Volleyball women rock.
The offended person on the other team (I assume one primary) could have just as easily made “round eyes.”
But that person has clearly learned the competitive advantage to being a perpetual victim.
Not to worry, these will all be tranny guys in the next 5 years or so.
Keep in mind that this is child’s play compared to what goes on a football/soccer matches in the UK and Europe. And the BBC is getting all indignant about this.
