Millwall are "appalled" by footage showing their
supporters aiming racial abuse at Leeds striker El
Hadji Diouf.
.
The pictures, showing Senegal international Diouf
being abused during a game at The Den on 18
November, appeared on Sky Sports News .
.
"Like all Millwall fans and football fans generally,
we're appalled by the footage we've seen," said Lions
chief executive Andy Ambler.
.
"Clearly that behaviour is unacceptable in any
football ground in the country."
.
Ambler added: "Sadly racism exists in our society
and certain individuals want to bring it into football
grounds. It's down to us in football to do more.
.
"That day against Leeds
obviously there was an
allegation of abuse made online
initially. We investigated it
straight away.
.
"We interviewed stewards,
police, players, we looked at the
TV footage too as it was live on
Sky.
.
"After speaking to the player
[Diouf] who had the alleged
abuse at him during the day, he said that he heard
no abuse so that was basically at that point the end
of the investigation - although we're going to open it
again now."
