'Le Graet should be fired' - Claims French football is free of racism are nonsense, says Evra

The former Bleus star revealed that offensive letters were commonplace during his time with the national team in response to the FFF chief

Former Manchester United and France star Patrice Evra was incensed to see the head of the French Football Federation claim the sport free of racist attitudes, laying bare his own battles with discrimination while on international duty.

Noel Le Graet caused a stir in the wake of Neymar's allegations against Marseille defender Alvaro Gonzalez over the use of racist language.

The Paris Saint-Germain star claimed that Gonzalez had called him a "monkey son of a bitch" during the clubs' chaotic Ligue 1 clash, which ended with Neymar and four other players receiving red cards.
