Hull striker Yannick Sagbo has been banned for two matches for a tweet he sent supporting Nicolas Anelka's use of the quenelle gesture. Sagbo admitted the offence and was originally handed a £15,000 fine but the Football Association appealed against the decision.
An appeal board upheld the challenge and Sagbo will now miss Hull's first two games of the new season.
A statement on thefa.com read: "At a hearing, an Independent Appeal Board upheld the FA's appeal against the original sanction imposed and ordered that Sagbo be suspended for Hull City's first two competitive first-team matches of the 2014-15 season in addition to the £15,000 fine and attendance at an education programme.
"This decision is final and binding and there is no right of further challenge."
