Blues probed for anti-Semitic chants
LONDON • Uefa has commissioned an ethics and disciplinary inspector to look into the conduct of a section of Chelsea's supporters as it seeks to determine whether they were guilty of an anti-Semitic chant during last week's Europa League tie against Vidi in Budapest, Hungary.
If the fans are found guilty of behaviour "that insults the human dignity of a person or group of persons on whatever grounds, including skin colour, race, religion or ethnic origin", the minimum sanction to which Chelsea would be subjected is the partial closure of Stamford Bridge at a Europa League game. The report will be submitted in mid-January.
