Update on the alleged racism

https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/2020/january/club-statement-update-on-alleged-racism-incident-at-chelsea-match/

The Club and the Metropolitan Police have now exhausted all avenues of investigation following the reported incident at our home fixture against Chelsea on 22 December.

We carried out extensive reviews of CCTV images and footage, working with professional lip readers. All materials and reports have now also been reviewed by the police who have carried out their own investigation.

The police have notified us today that, having reviewed and investigated, they have closed the crime report as they can find no evidence to support the allegation of racial abuse.

We fully support Antonio Rudiger with the action that he took - however there is no evidence to corroborate or contradict the allegation and as such neither ourselves nor the police are in a position to take any further action.

We are fiercely proud of our anti-racism work and our zero tolerance of any form of discrimination. This is one reason why we have attributed so much time and resource to investigating this matter. Had we identified anyone guilty of this we were intent on issuing them with a lifetime ban from our stadium as they would have no place among our proud, diverse fan base.

If any new information comes to light, this will be fully investigated.

I genuinely think Sizzle is gutted it’s not true, as it now doesn’t give him the platform to spout his everyone is racist bulls**. Thankfully, the facts are there and a thorough investigation has been done. No evidence whatsoever of any racist chanting.

Biggest bell piece on the planet isn’t he. Never known anything like it. I would hate to think there are many people like Sizzle, but unfortunately they exist in certain corners of the world coming out their caves whenever an incident like this appears. Proper cave dweller.

Like I said, it would have been some Brexit voting Tory making the monkey chants, and we all know that at least half of the people on this board wouldn’t bat an eyelid if they heard them anyway.

There is nor evidence to contradict the reports so you can't say its not true, or that it is.

For the small minority of Spurs fans that posted on this thread and shamed themselves with their inability to put club tribalism to one side.

Majority of Spurs posters


The investigation into the allegations the Chelsea defender was racially abused at the Spurs stadium the weekend before Christmas spawned the kind of tribal ugliness, bigotry and abuse that routinely accompanies such incidents. No culprit was found. Thousands of culprits were found.

It really is a shame.

Not many people actually understand racism IMO.
