Leeds United defender Giuseppe Bellusci has been found not guilty of racially abusing Norwich City's Huddersfield-born striker Cameron Jerome by the Football Association.

The Italian was charged on December 22 following the incident in the 1-1 Sky Bet Championship draw on October 21, where he was alleged to have directed a racial insult at Jerome.

But an independent regulatory commission dropped the case at a personal hearing after Bellusci denied the charge.
