Terry to be prosecuted
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... ds-newsxml
John Terry WILL face criminal charges over his alleged racist comments towards Anton Ferdinand.
The Crown Prosecution Service announced this afternoon that they have authorised his prosecution.
The England captain has denied racially abusing the Queens Park Rangers defender during the Barclays Premier League match on October 23.
Terry is alleged to have called Ferdinand a 'f******* black c***' in last month's defeat at QPR.
Terry has been interviewed by the police, as have a number of witnesses, and the CPS will decide if there is the evidence, which includes extensive video footage supplied by Sky, to bring charges.
Terry is supported by Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas, and the Football Association have allowed him to remain England captain, agreeing with boss Fabio Capello he should be presumed innocent until proven guilty.
The FA will complete their inquiry into the incident once the police investigation is concluded.
Shortly after the allegations were made, Terry issued a statement saying: 'I've seen that there's a lot of comments on the internet with regards to some video footage of me during the game.
'I'm disappointed that people have leapt to the wrong conclusions about the context of what I was seen to be saying to Anton Ferdinand.
'I would never say such a thing, and I'm saddened that people would think so.'
Last week it emerged that prosecutors had asked police for more information regarding the incident.
Terry is due to play for Chelsea away to Tottenham on Thursday night as his club attempt to stay in contention for the Barclays Premier League title.
He picked up a minor achilles injury during an open training session at Stamford Bridge on Monday.

The CPS can only issue a maximum of a £2,500 fine.
However, the FA has yet to get involved. If Suarez, which was a more complex case, got a £40,000 fine and an 8 game then Terry's as got to be more severe.
Anyway just for fun...

Any truth to rumour that the fa will not be able to proceed if he is not convicted in court now ? Am told that if law of land finds him not guilty then fa wouldnt be able to bring charges as it would be in direct conflict with courts ruling. Mind you oj was found innocent on murder charges but was found guilty in civil court but of course that was in the states
