Chelsea captain John Terry has been found not guilty of using a racist obscenity about Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand.

Terry had been charged with a racially aggravated public order offence following a Premier League game between the two clubs at Loftus Road on 23rd October last year.

Chief magistrate Howard Riddle cleared the 31-year-old of a racially aggravated public order offence at Westminster Magistrates' Court.

Giving his verdict, Mr Riddle said the case was not about "whether Mr Terry is a racist in the broadest sense of the word".

He said he had heard a great deal of evidence to show that he is not.

"It is understandable why Mr Terry wants to make this point, his reputation is at stake," he said.

Terry left the court within minutes of the verdict. Looking impassive, he was escorted by aides past the media scrum.

He made no comment but was cheered by a small group of Chelsea supporters as he was driven away.

Respect

The Crown Prosecution Service defended the decision to prosecute the former England captain.

Alison Saunders, chief crown prosecutor for London, said: "The very serious allegation at the heart of this case was one of racial abuse.

"It was our view that this was not 'banter' on the football pitch and that the allegation should be judged by a court.

"The Chief Magistrate agreed that Mr Terry had a case to answer, but having heard all of the evidence he acquitted Mr Terry of a racially aggravated offence.

"That is justice being done and we respect the Chief Magistrate's decision."

泰利被控種族歧視案法院裁定罪名不成立

英超球隊車路士隊長泰利，被控用種族歧視字句，侮辱昆士柏流浪後衛安東費迪南的案件審結，法官經過五日聆訊後，今日裁定泰利罪名不成立。 事發在去年十月一場聯賽，泰利在庭上否認指控，說當時是安東費迪南先挑釁，嘲笑他與前隊友布歷治女友的緋聞，他於是與安東費迪南對罵，但並不帶有種族歧視的言語。不過安東費迪南就說，他回家後觀看片段，認為泰利侮辱他是黑人，於是報警。法官最終接納泰利的講話，相信他並無辱罵安東費迪南是黑人。
