The Disciplinary Commission of the LFP has ruled.
Following comments deemed discriminatory, OM was fined 10,000 euros.
On November 28 at the Stade Vélodrome, discriminatory words against the Asian community were spoken against the South Korean player from Troyes, Huyn-jun Suk.
The Amazon Prime Video mics picked them up quite easily.
Indeed, the meeting took place in a stadium that sounded hollow due to a closed session decreed by the LFP after the OM-PSG incidents of October 24.
OM won 1-0 in a match where the South Korean international entered in the 76th minute.
According to a journalist on the @ AfterRMC it would have been an OM player who said "Sushi" .. speaking of Suk 🤔 #TeamOM pic.twitter.com/lZB9fe8O8M

ESTAC was quick to react by issuing a press release on November 30 in which the Aube leaders strongly condemned "racist remarks".
OM also intervened, through its president Pablo Longoria, who contacted his Trojan counterpart, Aymeric Magne to “apologize for OM to the player and the Troyes club.

The disciplinary committee thus sanctions the institution but not a specific person.
If the remarks had been made by members of the Marseille staff, the investigation did not, it seems, allow to determine the author.
The two clubs in a joint statement had nevertheless committed to "ask for explanations from the authors and to take the necessary measures".
