• Terry remains accessible to play for England
The Chelsea plus England defender John Terry has denied a Football Association charge of racially abusing the Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand plus has requested a individual hearing, the FA announced.
"John Terry has now [Friday 3 August 2012] denied an FA charge of utilizing abusive and/or insulting words and/or behavior, that included a reference to cultural origin and/or color and/or race, towards Queens Park Rangers' Anton Ferdinand," an FA statement mentioned.
"The Chelsea player has requested a individual hearing, the date of that will be set inside due course. During this period John Terry remains accessible to play for England."
The 31-year-old was found not guilty of racial misuse throughout a five-day trial at Westminster Magistrates Court which ended 2 weeks ago. District Judge Howard Riddle ruled there was clearly fair question whether the words were intended because an insult.
Terry maintained they were not, quite forming piece of the denial to an charge of racism from Ferdinand throughout Chelsea's Premier League beat at QPR about 23 October.
The FA declined to drop their own research into the matter, that they had put about hold whenever Terry was charged with a unlawful offence.
Whereas the prosecution inside Terry's trial had to confirm his guilt beyond fair question, the FA disciplinary commission may reach verdicts strictly found on the balance of probabilities, a much lower load of proof.
