Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck addressed the Paris Metro incident in his match programme notes for yesterday's 1-1 draw with Burnley.

Buck admits the club was shocked by the incident, with a video showing 'Souleymane S', a 33-year-old born in Paris, twice being shoved back on to the platform at Richelieu-Drouot station before a group of Chelsea fans allegedly chant: 'We're racist, we're racist and that's the way we like it, we like it, we like it.'

"I would like to take this opportunity to express, on behalf of everyone at Chelsea Football Club, our disgust with regards to the incident that took place on the Paris Metro on Tuesday evening," Buck said.

"We were all appalled by what we saw and the club would like to apologise unreservedly to Mr Soulemane S for the behaviour of a group of individuals and their unforgivable actions towards him.

"We have been cooperating fully with the Metropolitan and Paris police forces in their ongoing investigation and will continue to do so. We have also been conducting our own investigation and all information from that is being shared with the police.

"The people involved in that incident in Paris do not represent Chelsea Football Club and they do not stand for the values of this club and they have no place at this club. This has been echoed loud and clear by the vast majority of Chelsea supporters and we would like to thank the many fans who have come forward with information on this case.

"Chelsea FC is proud of its diversity. I can assure you that Mr Abramovich was disgusted with Tuesday night's scenes in Paris and like all of us he absolutely does not tolerate any form of discrimination."
