Not necessarily.
The ban doesn't start until 14 days after Terry receives the official reasons for the verdict. The only reason it can start earlier is if he chooses to accept the FA charge, in that instance the ban starts as soon as he says he's not going to appeal.

It's worth noting here that John Terry has received exactly the same length of ban (4 games) as Vincent Kompany received for cleanly tackling Nani in the derby last season. So, just to reiterate here, the FA believe racism is punishable to exactly the same level as winning a football in a tackle.
Well said
