May 7 (Reuters) - Atletico Madrid have been fined a reported 3,000 euros ($4,600) by the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) after fans chanted racist abuse at Recreativo Huelva's French striker Florent Sinama Pongolle during their Primera Liga match at the Calderon last weekend.

The RFEF's disciplinary committee also handed Levante's French midfielder Mathieu Berson a three-match ban for threatening the referee after being sent off against Espanyol.
