The Indian cricketer, Harbhajan Singh, had been found guilty of calling the Australia's only mixed-race player, Symonds , a "monkey" during the second Test in Sydney this month. But Harbhajan, who denied using the word, had his three-match ban lifted at an appeal hearing on Tuesday. Harbhajan pleaded guilty and was fined half his match fee and is free to play in future games.
"The racial abuse charges have been dropped," said Niranjan Shah, the secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India. "It is finished.
