PETERBOROUGH, England – Two fans of English third-tier club Doncaster were arrested on suspicion of racism during a match at Peterborough on Thursday.
Peterborough, which announced the arrests in the away end, said it was working with Doncaster and police on the incident.
Doncaster said it would issue a “substantial club ban” for anyone involved in racist conduct, and would require them to undergo “educational actions” before being allowed into games again.
“As a club we abhor racism in any form,” said Doncaster, which won the League One match 3-0.
The incident comes as Premier League club Tottenham continues to search for the perpetrators of racial abuse reported by Chelsea defender Antonio Ruediger in a game on Sunday. A Chelsea fan was arrested at the same game on suspicion of racially abusing Tottenham forward Son Heung-min.
The Professional Footballers’ Association has called for a government-led inquiry into racism in English football.
