DC United player Taxi Fountas has taken to Instagram to deny allegations he racially abused Inter Miami’s Damion Lowe in Sunday night’s MLS match.
Fountas wrote in a statement on Monday: ‘I did not use the word I am being accused of using. The despicable racial slur is one I condemn and did not use.
‘We had a heated discussion on the pitch, but I have not racially abused anyone. I certainly reject racism in any form. It’s disgusting.
‘I have many friends from many cultures. I always respect each person’s culture, religion and skin color.
‘I am therefore very sorry for this accusation and sorry to be falsely accused.’
