Anyone going down the "where's the evidence?" path should be asked what they'd consider an acceptable threshold for evidence in a situation like this. We have two players who heard it and you can see by the footage that they heard it at the same time. Kudela approached Kamara from a distance and hid his mouth so that cameras couldn't see what had been said. It also seems clear that 'monkey' is a fairly common insult to a black person in Czech Republic but I haven't heard it in the UK in a long time. On top of that, Kudela said he actually said "you're a fucking guy" which means absolutely nothing.
This is a situation where, on the balance of probabilities, there can be only one conclusion. We cannot go down the path of protecting people like Kudela just because he was smart enough to cover his mouth so it wasn't picked up on camera. We cannot be teaching people that you can get away with this kind of behaviour, just make sure there's no video record.
