Suspensions, soul-searching amid Raheem racism outcry

Fans banned and media accused after alleged abuse of Man City's Sterling

Amid an outcry over the treatment of Raheem Sterling by England's media and soccer fans, Chelsea suspended four people from attending its matches as police investigated whether the Manchester City winger was racially abused during a Premier League match.

Police are reviewing footage that circulated widely online during Chelsea's 2-0 win over City on Saturday, showing a man aggressively hurling abuse at Sterling as the player retrieved the ball at the byline. Other fans also appeared to be goading the England international.
