Indian Super League (ISL) side East Bengal have refuted the alleged racism charges against their head coach Robbie Fowler.
A media report on Tuesday claimed that the East Bengal head coach, who has been summoned by the All India Football Federation's (AIFF) disciplinary committee, has been slapped with racism charges against the referees.
East Bengal released an official statement rubbishing the claims and it read, "While the Club is mindful of the gravity of an allegation of racism, Mr Fowler's comments on the refereeing were in no way racist. The disciplinary charge from the All India Football Federation which Mr Fowler will be responding to also does not allude to any racist connotations in Mr Fowler’s comments.
