Valentin Barco refused to shake Gauthier Hein’s hand after Strasbourg’s win over Metz on Sunday.
According to L'Équipe, the Argentinian tapped the Racing crest and showed it to his opponent.
Earlier, Hein had equalised from the penalty spot in the first half and celebrated by taunting Strasbourg.
Hein, annoyed, was moved away by a team-mate and withdrew his outstretched hand as both sides parted before tensions rose.
The match finished 2-1 to Strasbourg, a result that lifts them, while Metz remain bottom of Ligue 1 despite the narrow margin.
