Metropolitan Police drop investigation into Clattenburg race row

The Metropolitan Police has confirmed that it has stopped investigation into the alleged racist row that involves referee Mark Clattenburg.

“An investigation was launched into alleged comments made during a football match between Chelsea FC and Manchester United FC at Stamford Bridge on October 28, 2012,” an official statement read.

“This follows on from a complaint received by the Metropolitan Police Service on October 29.

“Enquiries were made and no victims have come forward.

“If the situation changes and a victim and/or evidence to support an allegation of a crime comes to police attention then further enquiries will if appropriate be made.”

The FA has however insisted that they will continue with their probe into the matter, even as the referee has been dropped for the third week running from Premier League officiating.
