PARIS (Reuters) -Toulouse winger Aron Donnum is under preliminary investigation for an alleged racist gesture, the Toulouse prosecutortold Reuters on Thursday, following initial reports by L'Equipe.

The inquiry stems from an incident during Toulouse's Ligue 1 fixture against Le Havre on November 2, where Donnum, who has denied his actions were racist, waved his hand in front of his nose in the direction of Le Havre's Cameroonian midfielder Simon Ebonog, who is Black.
