Spain's Anti-Violence Commission said Wednesday it will write to FC Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o to express its displeasure at taunts he directed at Real Madrid during his team's league title celebrations.
Eto'o used insulted Madrid on Sunday _ a day after Barcelona won the national title for the first time since 1999 _ when telling 98,000 fans at Camp Nou stadium that his former club should honor the champion.
The state-run commission also backed the country's soccer federation, which said Tuesday it is investigating Eto'o's conduct. If the federation charges the 24-year-old Cameroon striker, he could be fined.
Real Madrid said it accepted an apology issued by Eto'o on Monday.
Eto'o, Africa's player of the year the past two years, arrived at Madrid as a teenager but, after loan spells with Leganes and Espanyol, failed to gain a regular first-team place.
He then spent five years at Mallorca through 2004, although Madrid retained half his playing rights and traded him to Barcelona. He was the league's leading scorer this season with 24 goals.
