JAPAN'S J-League will take no punitive measures after Tokyo Verdy's Brazilian striker Leandro's claim that an opponent had called him a "chimpanzee".
The J-League's disciplinary committee launched an investigation into the accusations of racist taunts after Verdy's midweek second division game with Ventforet Kofu. Verdy expressed disappointment yesterday after J-League officials said they were unable to verify Leandro's claims Kofu defender Arata Sugiyama had called him a "chimpanzee". Leandro was booked at the final whistle for protesting too little injury time and complained Sugiyama had racially abused him then.
