Kick It Out raise concerns over FA's Nicolas Anelka 'anti-Semitism row' investigation
The Kick It Out anti-racism
campaign has criticized the Football Association for the time the governing
body is taking to respond to an allegedly anti-Semitic gesture made by Nicolas
Anelka.
The West Brom striker appeared to
make the gesture in the draw with West Ham on December 28 but the FA are yet to
provide updates on their inquiry
The French player made the sign after scoring in West Brom's 3-3 draw with West Ham, however, he denies it was anti-Semetic.
Anelka faces a minimum five-match
ban from the FA, with former chairman Lord Triesman calling on the
much-travelled striker to apologize for his celebration.
The Kick It Out campaign who originally
reported the incident are left frustrated mainly because the governing body are yet to complete their
investigation,.
A statement on their website read:
"In spite of requests by Kick It Out for information about the progress of
the investigation, there has been total silence from the FA until Friday 10
January.
"The FA then stated that an
appointed expert was aiding the investigation and there would be no further
update until Monday 20 January at the earliest.
