Martyn Ziegler

The inquiry into the 'Colegate' affair has finished taking evidence and the Premier League's lawyer Nick Fitzpatrick is set to recommend that there is a case for Chelsea to answer.

It is understood that as Chelsea, Ashley Cole and his agent Jonathan Barnett have all confirmed to inquiry leader Fitzpatrick that a meeting took place though disputing the details of that meeting he will recommend a disciplinary commission be set up.
