Reds’ racism stance defended

LIVERPOOL’S managing director Ian Ayre has defended the club’s stance on racism and discrimination.

The Reds have come in for criticism in recent weeks for the way they handled Luis Suarez’s unsuccessful defence against allegations he racially abused Manchester United’s Patrice Evra.

Liverpool were also criticised for allowing their players to wear T-shirts in support of Suarez in last month’s game at Wigan.
