Eva Carneiro Was NEVER Asked For FA Statement Over Row With Chelsea Boss Jose MourinhoEva Carneiro has revealed that she was NEVER asked by the FA to produce a formal statement over her row with Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho. Mourinho was cleared this week over allegations that he verbally abused the former club doctor. The Portuguese coach insisted in his press conference today that he would speak about the matter one day – but not at this time. And his decision not to comment has prompted a swift and scathing response from Carneiro. She said: “I was surprised to learn that the FA was allegedly investigating the incident of the 8th of August via the press. “I was at no stage requested by the FA to make a statement. “I wonder whether this might be the only formal investigation in this country where the evidence of the individuals involved in the incident was not considered relevant. “Choosing to ignore some of the evidence will surely influence the outcome of the findings.” Carneiro went on to explain that a similar incident took place involving abuse from fans during a previous Premier League fixture. She added: “Last season I had a similar experience at a game at West Ham where I was subject to verbal abuse. “Following complaints by the public the FA produced a communication to the press saying there had been no sexist chanting during this game. “At no time was I approached for a statement despite the fact that vile, unacceptable sexually explicit abuse was clearly heard. “It is incidents such as these and the lack of support from the football authority that make it so difficult for women in the game.”
