Ex-England captain John Terry has been cleared of racially abusing fellow footballer Anton Ferdinand. The Chelsea and England defender had denied making the comments to the Queen Park Rangers player during a match at Loftus Road last October. The 31-year-old told Westminster Magistrates' Court that he had repeated what he thought Mr Ferdinand had said to him as the pair traded insults. Mr Terry had described himself as "angry and upset" over the claims. It was alleged he had insulted Mr Ferdinand in a match between Chelsea and Queens Park Rangers, describing him as "black" and using extreme sexual swear words. But Chief Magistrate Howard Riddle said he had heard a great deal of evidence to show Mr Terry was not a racist.
