Hammersmith and Fulham police have interviewed John Terry under caution as part of their investigation into allegations that he racially abused Anton Ferdinand during Chelsea's defeat by Queens Park Rangers last month. A statement was taken from Terry in Surrey last Friday, 24 hours before Chelsea's home game against Wolves, as the police continue to compile accounts of the incident which took place late in the derby at Loftus Road on 23 October. It remains to be seen whether charges are brought against the 30-year-old England captain, who is also the subject of inquiries by the Football Association into the flashpoint. Terry denies racially abusing the QPR defender but has already admitted using offensive words, claiming he had shouted them as a denial having been under the assumption that Ferdinand had accused him of making a racist remark. He welcomed the announcement of the FA's inquiry as an opportunity to clear his name, only for the Metropolitan police to follow suit as a result of an emailed complaint from a member of the public. As part of the inquiry, players at Chelsea and QPR have been interviewed, with confirmation now that Terry has also been contacted. A 30-year-old man was interviewed under caution on Friday 25 November, said a Scotland Yard spokesman. He was not arrested. The Crown Prosecution Service is understood to have received files on the investigation from the police, but more are expected to be lodged before any decision is made as to whether charges are to be pressed.
