Racist fans at MCG face life bans

http://content-www.cricinfo.com/ausvind/content/current/story/326983.html

Fans at the Melbourne Cricket Ground for the Boxing Day Test between India and Australia could be banned for life if found guilty of racially taunting players and fellow fans. Cricket Australia announced that undercover surveillance officers and CCTV cameras will be placed in several parts of the ground to keep an eye on the fans and eject those who make racists comments or flaunt banners and placards with racist slogans.
