I'm a big fan of 'innocent until proven guilty'. Apparently he called Evra 'negro' which is supposedly an everyday and acceptable expression to use in his own country. I don't accept that as an excuse though - if you move to another country to live or work then you accept their laws override what you are used to. He may well be racist but in the absence of evidence we should assume he isn't.
It's worth noting it is not against any FA rule to be a racist, only to use racist words or behavior.
