Former-Chelsea doctor not happy with footballing body

Eva Carneiro has released a statement regarding the Football Association and has revealed that they didn’t ask for a statement from her regarding the case against Jose Mourinho.

Carneiro has been at war with the Chelsea boss after his public criticism of her following the Swansea City game earlier in the season.

Mourinho was furious that she ran onto the pitch to tend to Eden Hazard, leaving the Blues with just nine-men on the field at that time and after the game he claimed she didn’t understand the game and was just a distraction.

The doctor then saw her responsibilities at the club diminished as Mourinho banned her from match-days.

After the fall-out, Carneiro eventually left Chelsea Football Club and Mourinho was cleared of all charges made against him – something that has shocked the doctor.

Carneiro Statement

She said: “I was surprised to learn that the FA was allegedly investigating the incident of 8 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.

“Last season I had a similar experience at a game at West Ham FC, 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 authorities that make it so difficult for women in the game. I admire what Heather Rabbatts has done and thank her and friends and colleagues who have supported me at this very difficult time.”
