Robbie Fowler was yesterday banned for six matches and handed a record £32,000 fine for his two misconduct charges.

The Liverpool striker appeared before an FA disciplinary commission in Birmingham, where the three-man panel ordered a four-match suspension for his goal celebrations against Everton, where he mimicked sniffing cocaine.

He was also given a two-game ban for his bust-up with Graeme Le Saux, where he wiggled his backside at the Chelsea defender and taunted him about his sexuality.

Le Saux, who was also charged with misconduct after reacting by elbowing the Liverpool man, was banned for one match and fined £5,000.

Both players were also ordered to pay costs. Their bans will be effective from April 24th.
