FA set to probe Cole racism allegations

WEST HAM striker Carlton Cole’s insistence that he was racially abused by Millwall fans is being dealt with as part of the FA’s wider investigation into the violence that shamed English football on Tuesday night.

Cole claims to have been the victim of racist ‘monkey’ taunts from Millwall fans, while Jason Price was also reportedly targeted by home fans during the Carling Cup tie between both clubs at the Boleyn Ground on Tuesday night.

The ‘Kick It Out’ organisation believes the game will have suffered another “depressing development” if racist chanting allegations against both players are proven.
