Swindon Town captain Ollie Clarke was banned for seven matches in December for committing fouls on the "private body parts" of two opponents, the Football Association revealed on Monday, Reuters reported. 

An independent FA regulatory commission said in partly redacted written reasons that it considered the midfielder's actions to have been "highly violating and intentional foul play".

"The commission did not accept the player's view that neither of the acts were intentional," it added, according to Reuters.
