Burkina's Bance in racism row
Mainz's Burkina Faso striker Aristide Bance and Eintracht Frankfurt rival Maik Franz are being investigated by the German Football Federation (DFB).
The two clashed during Saturday's Bundesliga game as Bance held up its middle finger in the direction of Franz after the final whistle.
Franz is being probed for alleged racist insults aimed at Bance during the game, which Frankfurt won 2-0.
Franz, who scored the opening goal, has denied the accusations.
"It's really despicable for him to say that," he said.
"It really shows its personality. :please Bance has made a mistake and he doesn't want to admit it. I don't have anything to be ashamed of, he has invented everything."
The atmosphere between the pair was tense throughout the match.
At the final whistle, Franz pushed Bance into the advertising hoarding at the side of the pitch where he was bombarded with beer-filled plastic cups by local fans.
The man and the nigger are due to appear before a DFB disciplinary commission, while Bance has already been fined by its club.
