The investigation into the alleged racist chanting at Spurs has been closed as no evidence could be found. Not good from Rudiger. I wonder what made him want to try and tarnish Chelsea’s most hated London rivals that way?

Finding no evidence contradicts his accusation does it not? Only Rudiger will know if it was done out of malicious intent or not I guess.

Second time he’s done this and it has been proven a baseless allegation chef so you do have to start wondering now. Our club is clearly owed an apology, if not from the player himself then certainly from the media and the like who all assumed us guilty from the start

He was either racially abused or misheard while copping some other sort of abuse and there i no evidence to corroborate or contradict the accusation.

Haha I read that article, utter horseshit. What about the reputation of clubs and fans when these accusations are proved to be false, are we just going to forget about them in the meantime? Load of social justice codswallop that article is

I think Spurs statement was very good. Fully supporting Rudiger, but recognising that there was no evidence either way. They're not calling for apologies, and nor should they.

I don't think Spurs reputation has suffered too much, in any case I think the tribalism has got to be removed from the debate.

A Spurs fan racially abusing a player shouldn't reflect on Spurs or their supporters. It should reflect on the people involved. And it shouldnt be considered a Spurs problem, it's a football problem and a societal problem.
