Two Doncaster fans arrested for alleged racism in League One win over Peterborough
TWO Doncaster fans have been arrested for alleged racism following their win over Peterborough.
The League One clubs are working with police over the incident which marred their 3-0 victory over the hosts.
Doncaster said in a statement: "Rovers are aware of two arrests made at the game on Boxing Day for alleged racist behaviour.
"As a club we abhor racism in any form and will work closely with Peterborough United and Cambridgeshire Police as required to support any police action.
"We take a zero tolerance approach to such issues and would expect to issue a substantial club ban to anyone proven to have acted in such a manner as well as require them to complete some educational actions before attending any Rovers games."
The latest racism storm comes just days after alleged racial abuse towards Antonio Rudiger in Chelsea's visit to Tottenham last Sunday.
