Ferdinand set to snub Terry handshake
QUEENS Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand is expected to snub Chelsea defender John Terry's pre-match handshake this weekend following racism allegations involving the players, it was reported yesterday.
The Daily Mail reported that Ferdinand would shun Terry's handshake if it was offered to him following legal advice. Terry is facing a July 9 court case over allegations that he racially abused Ferdinand during QPR's victory over Chelsea in October. Terry, who lost the England captaincy over the issue, has strongly denied wrongdoing. The Football Association canceled handshakes when QPR faced Chelsea in the FA Cup in January, but the English Premier League is adamant that the ritual will go ahead in Sunday's game at Stamford Bridge. The Mail reported that Ferdinand had taken advice from lawyers as well as the Crown Prosecution Service. It said the defender had been advised that either shaking or refusing to shake Terry's hand could both have implications for the looming court case.
