Polish authorities are investigating a soccer player whose T-shirt showed anti-Semitic writing, the French news agency AFP reported. The player, Arkadiusz Mysona, is suspected of calling for hate on an ethnic basis and committing a public offense against a country.

His team, LKS Lodz, has fined him $13,000 and prohibited him from playing in a championship game. Mysona explained that an unknown supporter gave him the shirt and that he did not check to see what was written on it. "A fellow member of the team drew my attention and when I saw the inscription, I removed it at once," he added.

His team previously has been fined after anti-Semitic flyers were displayed at the LKS Lodz stadium.
