A Serbian volleyball player has been suspended for two games after she made a racist gesture during a match against Thailand.

The Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB), volleyball's international governing body, announced on Tuesday that Sanja Djurdjevic had violated its rules at the June 1 match.
