CHELSEA captain John Terry has dismissed claims he directed a racial slur at Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand.
Video footage on the internet after Chelsea's 0-1 defeat at QPR had some people claiming it showed Terry making a racist comment toward Ferdinand. The England captain attempted to defuse the situation by releasing a statement, saying "people have leapt to the wrong conclusions about the context of what I was seen to be saying."
"I thought Anton was accusing me of using a racist slur against him. I responded aggressively, saying that I never used that term," Terry said. "I would never say such a thing, and I'm saddened that people would think so."
Terry said Ferdinand hasn't accused him of racial abuse. "I have known Anton for a long time and spoke to him about it after the game and there was no problem between us," Terry said. "I congratulated him on their win. He has not accused me of any wrongful remark."
