Fury as John Terry faces racism charge

[ via Mail Online ] 21 Dec

John Terry will be allowed to continue as England captain, despite being told that he must appear in court next year to answer a criminal charge of using racist language on the field.

To the fury of anti-racism campaigners, top officials at the Football Association stayed silent after the footballer was formally summonsed yesterday over an outburst against a black player during a Premier League clash.

The multi-millionaire defender – who denies any racial abuse – also continued to enjoy the backing of his club, Chelsea.
