Welling United striker Sahr Kabba has become the first player to be suspended for "exaggerating and feigning an injury in order to deceive match officials".
Kabba was banned for three matches and fined £250 by the Football Association after a new policy was brought in before the start of the season to "address on-field behaviour in English football".
The incident happened during Welling's 1-1 Vanarama National League draw at home to Tranmere on Saturday when Kabba went down following what the officials believed to be an elbow from Ritchie Sutton, who was sent off.
Sutton's three-match ban was overturned on appeal, though, after Rovers submitted video and written evidence to the FA to prove the decision had been incorrect.
