BYU says it didn't find evidence a fan racially heckled a Black female Duke volleyball player

Following a two-week investigation, BYU said in a statement it found no evidence to corroborate allegations of racial heckling by a fan at a women's volleyball match on Aug. 26.

The university said it reviewed audio recordings, security footage and "reached out" to at least 50 people at the event before coming to its decision Friday morning.

BYU added that it lifted its ban on the fan the school originally identified as the person who allegedly used a racial slur directed at a member of the Duke women's volleyball team.

"There will be some who assume we are being selective in our review," BYU said in the statement.
