Yorkshire have been hit with points deductions in two formats and fined £400,000 over the racism scandal linked to their former player Azeem Rafiq.
A Cricket Discipline Commission panel said £300,000 of the fine imposed had been suspended for a period of two years.
The club have also immediately been docked 48 points from their County Championship total, and a further four from their tally in the T20 Blast.
Yorkshire, who had admitted four charges following the conclusion of an England and Wales Cricket Board investigation, released a statement confirming they accepted the sanctions.
