FA may lead fresh racism investigation into Mark Sampson

Key witness Drew Spence has now submitted a written statement to FA, saying she is willing to be interviewed.

The FA are set to re-open investigations into Mark Sampson’s alleged racist and bullying behaviour as manager England women’s national team.

The FA first heard of the allegations in 2015, when Eni Aluko reported a racist comment made to Drew Spence at the 2015 China Cup. Sampson is alleged to have asked Spence, of mixed racial background, how many times she had been arrested by police.

According to Sportsmail, Aluko was paid £80,000 hush money to not speak to the press, though Aluko has ultimately come forward speaking about her own experiences on the receiving end of a racist joke by Sampson.

Now, key witness Drew Spence has changed her position and is now willing to be interviewed by the FA in order to confirm evidence given by Eni Aluko.

The FA face questions in a parliamentary inquiry about their management of the allegations and investigations, and the payment of Aluko.
