Premier League: Chelsea FC issues stadium bans to three supporters suspected of racism in Paris

Chelsea FC (Barclays Premier League) issued temporary stadium bans to three fans suspected of being involved in a racist incident in Paris on 19/02/2015. Several Chelsea supporters pushed a black passenger from a train on the Paris metro, prevented him from getting back on and then sang racist chants at the station Richelieu-Drouot before the Paris SG - Chelsea match (1-1, round of 16 of the Champions League) on 17/02/2015.

"If it is deemed there is sufficient evidence of their involvement in the incident, the club will issue banning orders for life," said the club. The alleged victim filed a complaint on 19/02/2015. "We have received substantial information to date following our witness appeal and we are grateful to the many Chelsea supporters who have provided information so far."
