UEFA probe Marseille stewards' treatment at Chelsea
Posted Friday, October 15, 2010 by YAHOO Sport
MARSEILLE, France (AFP) - UEFA have opened "disciplinary procedures" against English club Chelsea concerning the treatment of Marseille stewards during a Champions League game at Stamford Bridge last month, sources close to the French club confirmed on Thursday.
Marseille have received a letter from European football's governing body stating that the matter concerning the "incorrect behaviour of (Chelsea) stewards" would be examined by UEFA's disciplinary commission on October 28.
Guy Cazademont, Marseille's head of security, has alleged he was grabbed around the waist by his Chelsea counterparts and forcibly ejected from the west London stadium before kick-off.
Cazademont added that Marseille's stewards were not allowed to supervise their own fans during the match and were ordered to remain seated, while visiting supporters were prevented from displaying Marseille banners.
English title-holders Chelsea won the Champions League Group F clash 2-0 thanks to first-half goals from captain John Terry and former France striker Nicolas Anelka, who scored from the penalty spot.
