The Football Association will study the findings of the John Terry court case before deciding whether or not to bring any charges against the Chelsea captain.
Terry has been cleared at Westminster Magistrates' Court of racially abusing QPR's Anton Ferdinand and the FA will now have to decide whether to open disciplinary proceedings under its rules.
An FA spokesman said: "The FA notes the decision in the John Terry case and will now seek to conclude its own enquiries. The FA will make no further comment at this time."
The FA can still bring charges even though Terry was found not guilty in court. It is likely to be at least a week before a decision is made.
Liverpool's Luis Suarez was banned by the FA last season for racially abusing Patrice Evra but that case never went to court.
Former Manchester United and Tottenham striker Garth Crooks, now a BBC presenter, has criticised the FA for not acting sooner.
Crooks said on www.guardian.co.uk: "The real problem in the Terry case began once the FA failed to take immediate action.
"This lack of fibre by the governing body to act instantly when Terry gave them a statement after the verbal clash with Ferdinand, threw the entire procedure into chaos - forcing everyone associated with the game to either dive for cover or sit on the fence."
Crooks believes that Terry should still face action from the FA even though the Chelsea player's defence was that he was only repeating what he believed Ferdinand had accused him of saying.
He added: "I believe it was wrong of him to say these words under any circumstances - and though Terry has been found not to have committed a criminal offence, the FA must now decide whether the former England captain should be charged for contravening its own rules."

China and India Drives Growth in the Global Ribbed Smoked Sheet Market, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. - San Francisco Gate
GIA announces the release of a comprehensive global report on Ribbed Smoked Sheet markets. The global consumption of Ribbed Smoked Sheet (RSS) is projected to reach 5.6 million metric tons by 2018, primarily driven by rapid increase in demand from emerging markets such as China and India. RSS market across the globe witnessed strong recovery from the downward pressures of economic recession. The automobile sector’s recovery was initiated in the middle of 2009 and was strongly supported by an increase in Government spending as well as inventory rebuilding worldwide through various support measures aimed at increasing automobile sales. Consequently, demand for tires increased in tandem, leading to an increase in consumption of RSS. Moreover, the pent up demand for replacement tires, which were postponed or delayed during the recession also resulted in increase in demand for tires.
San Jose, California (PRWEB) July 13, 2012
Follow us on LinkedIn – The versatile nature of natural rubber, coupled with advantages over synthetic rubber makes natural rubber competitive with alternatives. Additionally, increasing prices of oil are also increasing the cost competitiveness of natural rubber. As such, demand for natural rubber in primary applications; such as tire manufacturing is not expected face major threat from synthetic rubber. Demand for natural rubber is expected to move in line with demand for automotive tires. Globally, natural rubber is one of the most widely used elastomers owing to its high tensile strength, good green strength, low heat build-up, high resilience, and other unmatchable properties. Natural rubber is produced from the Hevea brasiliensis trees, both in the form of field coagulum as well as latex. While field coagulum is the auto-coagulated latex in the coagulation cups or on the tapping panel, latex is a milky-white dispersion of rubber in water. Natural rubber, which is highly susceptible to degradation due to contamination, is processed for to form Concentrated Latex, Technically Specified Rubber (TSR), and Ribbed Smoked Sheet (RSS) for better marketing and storage. Smoked sheets are among the most popular and oldest forms of natural rubber. Two types of sheets are popular in the international market namely, Air Dried Sheets (ADS) and Ribbed Smoked Sheets (RSS). Among the two, RSS is the most popular. The surface of the ribbed smoked sheet consists of crisscross rib markings, thereby the name ribbed smoked sheet.
Rising awareness among consumers about environmental conservation is expected brighten the prospects for natural rubber and in turn, for ribbed smoked sheets in the near future. Due to rapid depletion of petrochemical resources, consumers are displaying avid interest towards purchasing green tires or tires manufactured from natural rubber and other renewable resources. Natural rubber is considered more eco-friendly and superior in quality as compared with synthetic rubber, therefore its use in manufacturing rubber bands, surgical gloves and drapes, contraceptives, nipples on baby bottles, shoe soles, as well as carpet backing is displaying a phenomenal increase.
Ribbed Smoked Sheet market across the globe witnessed strong recovery from the downward pressures of economic recession. The automobile sector’s recovery was initiated in the middle of 2009 and was strongly supported by an increase in government spending as well as inventory rebuilding worldwide through various support measures aimed at increasing automobile sales. Consequently, demand for tires increased in tandem, leading to an increase in consumption of RSS. Moreover, the pent up demand for replacement tires, which were postponed or delayed during the recession also resulted in increase in demand for tires. Though, demand in North America, Japan, and Europe is expected to be relatively subdued, emerging economies in the Asia-Pacific region are expected to drive growth in future. In the coming years, China and India are expected to dominate the market in terms of RSS consumption.
Despite prices of most types of rubber being closely linked, there exists no uniformity owing to the variety available in rubber grades and types. The rubber industry, and in turn the RSS sector, are influenced by several factors including supply and demand fundamentals, political stability, macro-economic fundamentals, weather conditions, inflation, crude oil prices, interest rates, as well as government policies. Fluctuations in the Japanese yen and in the currencies of exporting countries also play a significant role in determining rubber prices. For instance, prices of natural rubber displayed a sharp increase during the year 2010, despite a modest rise in the prices of crude oil. Such an anomaly can be attributed to several other underlying factors such as significant appreciation witnessed through 2010 in the Malaysian Ringgit, Indonesian Rupiah, and Thai Baht, relative to the US dollar.
The supply of natural rubber is based on several factors including production capacity, input and processing costs, price differential with synthetic rubber, as well as underlying technological changes. In addition, natural rubber is distributed both in the form of finished products, as well as at the intermediate stage in several industries worldwide. Therefore, demand for a particular grade and type of rubber essentially depends on the demand for final goods, of which rubber forms a component. As the supply of natural rubber decreases, prices begin to rise with demand.
As stated by the new market research report on Ribbed Smoked Sheet (RSS), Asia-Pacific accounts for a lion’s share of the global market for RSS and is expected to remain the strongest growth area globally up to 2018. China is the largest consumer of RSS in the world. China is highly dependent on imports to meet the demand for natural rubber, with about 70% of demand being met through imports.
Major players in the global marketplace include GMG Global Ltd., Kuala Lumpur Kepong Berhad, PT Bakrie Sumatera Plantations Tbk, SouthLand Rubber Co., Ltd., Srijaroen Group, Sri Trang Agro-Industry Public Company Ltd., Thai Hua Rubber Plc, Titi Latex Sdn Bhd, Tong Thai Rubber, Unitex Rubber Co., Ltd., Von Bundit Co., Ltd., and Watap Thailand Co., Ltd.

Millar ends nine-year drought as Wiggins keeps yellow - ESPN.co.uk
David Millar became the fourth British winner at this year's Tour de France as Bradley Wiggins maintained control of the yellow jersey.
Nine years after his last stage win in the race, Millar beat Jean-Christophe Peraud in a sprint finish to deny the Frenchman a popular home victory on Bastille Day.
In the longest stage of the race, Millar was part of a five-man breakaway group on the 226 kilometre ride from Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne to Annonay Davezieux.
Millar crossed the line in five hours 42:46, nearly eight minutes clear of the peloton, but it had no bearing on the general classification, with Wiggins finishing in the chasing pack, led by Matt Goss. However, the Australian was stripped of his points after he was found to have obstructed green jersey holder Peter Sagan in the final sprint.
With team leader Ryder Hesjedal out of the Tour following a high-speed crash on Stage Six, Millar was given the freedom to ride and the 35-year old made it count to become the fourth British winner on the Tour following stage victories for GB team-mates Wiggins, Mark Cavendish and Chris Froome.
"There's nothing quite like the sensation of winning a road stage, it's much more emotional than winning a time trial or prologue," said Millar. "It's taken our team going through turmoil to bring out the best in me. We needed it and I wanted to do it."
A large escape group made an early move, but two category one climbs in the opening 80km, the Col du Grand Cucheron and the Col du Granier cut the leading group to just five: Millar, Peraud and fellow Frenchman Cyril Gautier as well as Spaniard Egoi Martinez De Esteban and Croat Robert Kiserlovski.
Sagan did make a solo attempt to close the gap, but the peloton reeled him in before Team Sky opted to set a leisurely pace with Wiggins' yellow jersey rivals not in the leading pack.
However, there was bad news for veteran Frenchman David Moncoutie, who was forced to abandon his final Tour after suffering a suspected broken collarbone following a crash on the descent from Col du Grand-Cucheron.
