Port Adelaide have slapped an indefinite AFL ban on the woman who ignited a racism controversy by throwing a banana at indigenous star Eddie Betts.The Power completed an investigation into the ugly incident after speaking with the club member on Sunday, concluding it was racially motivated.Betts was targeted by the fan in Saturday nights 15-point Showdown victory by the Crows at Adelaide Oval.The supporter was seen waving her middle finger at Betts before throwing the banana in his direction.Betts had just kicked his fifth goal in a near best-afield showing during his 250th AFL game, and did not notice the incident.Port Adelaide chairman David Koch said before the club spoke with the woman that hed be absolutely disgusted if racism was found to be the motivation.Were a club, were an industry, were a code that doesnt shirk away from these sorts of incidents, he said.If it was racially motivated, not only would she be banned for life from the club, we would encourage her to come and sit with our players, our Aboriginal players and try to understand what these actions mean to them.The club also relied on testimony from Port Adelaide fans in the vicinity, who said her action was accompanied by racist sledging through the match.The club said it would meet with the woman and offer her a chance to take part in the clubs Aboriginal cultural awareness programs, pointing out her act was completely at odds with its embrace of Aboriginal players and culture.Port have more indigenous players on their list than any other AFL side, with a rich history of indigenous representation.They confirmed their seven Aboriginal players, led by Chad Wingard, would be a part of a counselling process offered, while cancelling her membership.Koch claimed support from Betts for the clubs educational approach.Eddie is not only an incredible football player but an amazing human being, he said.He said thats exactly the thing that you should do.He understands like us ... that the lasting good, if any good can come from this, is to make sure no football crowd, no workplace, no family thinks this is acceptable behaviour.The AFL, Adelaide and Port Adelaide football clubs and Adelaide Oval management all released statements on Sunday condemning anti-social behaviour.The call to action was led by Crows captain Taylor Walker, who tweeted his disappointment.Absolutely disgusting! Shouldnt ever be allowed back into enjoy the football. Very disappointing, he said.The incident comes after much of the AFLs 2015 season was marred by booing and racial vilification of Sydneys indigenous star Adam Goodes.Goodes, the 2006 Brownlow Medallist, retired at seasons end and declined a lap of honour on grand final day.

Thibaut Courtois Jersey . -- The plastic that was taped across the lockers in Oaklands clubhouse came down and the champagne that was on ice went back into the cooler. HOCKENHEIM, Germany -- A stopwatch malfunction meant Nico Rosberg was stationary for three seconds longer than necessary while serving his five-second penalty at the German Grand Prix.Rosberg was hit with the penalty for forcing Max Verstappen off the track at Turn 6 while battling for second position. Drivers are required to serve in-race time penalties during pit stops -- with the team unable to touch the car until the penalty has elapsed -- and Mercedes served Rosbergs at his final pit stop.However, when the car entered the pit box the stopwatch failed to start and Rosbergs total stationary time -- including the tyre change -- totaled 12 seconds.Even in a Formula One team with all the high tech, if you get to take out the instruments that you usually dont use like a stopwatch, they can fail and the stopwatch didnt start properly, Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff explained. Once we realised we had to take it safe and this is why it took longer thhan normal.ddddddddddddWe could have also counted, one-thousand-and-one, one-thousand-and-two, one-thousand-and-three ... but we relied on the stopwatch and it let us down.Although Rosberg would have lost track position to the Red Bulls regardless of the time lost due to the stopwatch failure, he would have resumed closer to Verstappen in the final stint.At the time it wasnt frustrating because I didnt know, Rosberg said. It just felt like I was sitting there forever. Now in hindsight, its not that frustrating either.There were so many things that went wrong today that it was just one more small thing that actually didnt make a difference in the end because I wouldnt have been able to get the Red Bulls anyway. They were on the super-softs and they lasted quite well in that last stint, so that didnt make a difference. ' ' '
