Tiatto denies racism claims

Australia's Danny Tiatto has denied racially abusing Senegalese midfielder Salif Diao while playing for Leicester against Stoke in the English Championship.

Tiatto said he had made a comment to Diao when the pair clashed early in Tuesday night's game at the Walkers Stadium but what he said was not racist.

"It's just one of those things, heat of the moment, something said on the pitch, nothing racist whatsoever," Tiatto said.

"I'm not that kind of person.

"The player had no problem with me and shook my hand after the game."

Stoke captain Michael Duberry had accused Tiatto of making a racist slur.

But the FA revealed match referee Graham Laws made no reference to the alleged incident in his match report - meaning no further action can be taken unless an official complaint is lodged by the club or players concerned.

So far, there is no suggestion that anyone has made an official complaint and Duberry said earlier in the week he did not intend to do so.

"I'm not sure if the ref heard it himself but a lot of players did. And he (Tiatto) knows what he said. He should be disgusted with himself," Duberry said at the time.

"It wasn't a black or white remark, there was no mention of colour, but it's still racism."

Tiatto also pointed out Stoke manager Tony Pulis had said there was nothing to report when asked.

"No action has been taken so it's obvious from that that there was no sort of racist comment made," Tiatto said.
