West Ham accused of discrimination by chairman of women's team

West Ham United have been accused by the chairman of their women's team of breaking Football Association rules on discrimination, according to BBC Sport.

Stephen Hunt has lodged a formal complaint with the FA and claims the women's side have been stopped by the club from finding their own sponsors and been forced to buy their own kit, leading them to wear last season's strip with old players' names crossed out on the back.

Amongst other claims, Hunt also alleges West Ham will not let them use their gym, while the club promised a financial contribution but the money has not come through and so have stopped answering emails.
