Bong: FA got it wrong

last week ruled the case was “not proven” after a full-scale investigation.

Bong, 29, who issued a statement, said: “I would never seek to bring a false charge against a fellow professional. My conscience in raising the complaint is therefore entirely clear.

“Please let me be clear: I know what I heard and I did not mishear. Only Mr Rodriguez and I know exactly what was said and I stand by my original complaint.”

In his evidence to the FA, Bong said he was “100 per cent certain” Rodriguez, 28, had racially abused him, but the West Brom player denied it.

Rodriguez (above) broke his silence at the weekend about the affair when he claimed “the truth always comes out”.
