Chelsea 'regrets' ref abuse claim

CHELSEA has expressed "regret" but stopped short of apologizing to Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg after accusing him of racism in a case that was later dropped by the authorities.

Clattenburg was accused by Chelsea midfielder Ramires of saying "shut up you monkey" to teammate John Obi Mikel during an October 28 Premier League match, but the English Football Association found that the referee had no case to answer. Chelsea now concedes that it was wrong to publicly allege that Clattenburg used "inappropriate language".
