Demba Ba was allegedly the victim of racial abuse in a Chinese Super League game on Saturday.
The former Chelsea and Newcastle striker reacted furiously to comments made by Zhang Li in Shanghai Shenhua's 1-1 draw with Changchun Yatai.
Ba reacted angrily
Ba grabbed his opponent and almost lifted him off the ground before explaining to officials and players what had happened.
After the match, Shenhua manager Wu Jingui said of the incident: "The Chinese Super League has players of many different skin colours.
"We should respect our opponents and there should be no discrimination.
"I cannot calm down now. I feel great regret about the lack of respect to a player."
It is alleged that the player repeatedly shouted "you black" towards Ba.
His club called for serious disciplinary actions against Li with growing pressure from fans to for a serious punishment.
They tweeted: "Demba Ba is offended by racist words from Changchun Yatai player Zhang Li.
"CFA should take serious disciplinary actions!! #saynotoracism."
Besiktas, Ba's former club, showed their support for the striker and added: "#NoToRacism, You're not alone."
Cristiano Ronaldo has severed ties with Real Madrid once and for all after his £99m move to Juventus.
The Portuguese superstar completed a shock move to the Old Lady in July, bringing to an end his nine-year stay at the Bernabeu.
Ronaldo left the club having scored an incredible 450 goals in 438 appearances for the La Liga giants, making him the greatest player in their history.
However, it's clear that Ronaldo has now moved on from his time at the club after the 33-year-old unfollowed Real Madrid on Instagram.
The forward followed his new club Juventus and clearly wants to focus on his new life in Turin by unfollowing his former side.
Ronaldo could become the first player to win league titles in England, Italy and Spain with Juventus next season.
The forward has reportedly asked the club to sign former team-mate Marcelo as the Old Lady look to win their seventh league title in a row.
Gonzalo Higuain joined AC Milan on Friday, in a move that saw Leonardo Bonucci move the other way.
