Chelsea Fans Reportedly Investigated in 2nd Racism Probe

Police have launched a second investigation into reported racist behaviour from Chelsea fans following a new incident that allegedly took place at St Pancras Station in London, according to the BBC.

The news follows just days after fans of the Blues were captured on film blocking a black man from entering a metro train before starting a racist chant in a Paris station ahead of the Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain, via Bleacher Report UK:

It now appears the trouble didn't end there. Superintendent Gill Murray of the British Transport Police told the BBC that a new investigation has been started involving an incident that took place on British soil.

Reportedly, a group of men unleashed similar chants inside the station on Wednesday evening upon arriving from Paris, leading to a complaint from a member of the general public, according to Supt. Murray:

"

The racist chanting was reported by a member of the public who was disgusted by the behaviour of the men who had travelled on the 18:40 service from Paris Gare du Nord.

The men shouted as they walked through the station having alighted from the train a short time earlier.

If you travelled on the train from Paris or were at the station and have information which can assist our investigation I would urge you to get in touch as a matter of urgency.

"

Chelsea have already suspended five fans until the investigation into the earlier incident is complete, with a possible lifetime ban if sufficient evidence is uncovered by the authorities, via Sky Sports:

The Blues have done everything in their power to aid the investigation and taken a decisive stand against the individuals involved so far, something former England international Gary Lineker wanted to point out via Twitter:

While this latest incident won't help the image Chelsea fans unfortunately face at this moment, it's important to emphasise the investigation is targeted at only a handful of individuals.

The club and the vast majority of its fans continue to push for strong sanctions, and pending the outcome of this new investigation, one has to assume that is what the culprits will face if found guilty.
