We don't have the power to punish Chelsea fans says Platini
Uefa president Michel Platini says the organisation is powerless to take any action against the group of Chelsea supporters caught in a racism.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and manager Jose Mourinho had condemned the actions of some Chelsea fans that denied a black man from entering the same bus with them.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger also condemned the incident calling for the European governing body ( UEFA) to take action and punish those involved in such act.
Uefa president Michel Platini said Uefa is powerless in this case because the action occurred outside the stadium perimeter.
"We cannot punish," he told RMC. "We can punish what happens in the stadium, or within the stadium perimeter but outside, on the metro, what do you want me to do?" ~ Platini
"I don't have the means or the power to do it. I can recommend clubs to pay attention to their supporters and see what they can potentially do. But it's difficult to punish." ~ her added
Chelsea have suspended at least five of their fans from watching football at Stamford Bridge as investigation is still on going, those who were involved in the condemnable action said they are racist and they like it that way.
