Racist taunts could prompt Drogba to leave pitch

CHELSEA striker Didier Drogba says he will consider leaving the pitch if he is subjected to racist taunts.

Chelsea’s players are no stranger to racist abuse, with Shaun Wright-Phillips subjected to ‘monkey’ taunts during an England game in Madrid in 2004.

A resolution calling for referees to be given the power to abandon matches if players are consistently subjected to racial abuse recently received the backing of England defender Rio Ferdinand and more than 400 MEPs.
