Former England forward John Fashanu has claimed that UEFA are not doing enough to eradicate racism from football.
The decision to allow Ukraine to joint-host this summer's Euro 2012 championships has been widely criticised.
The family of England winger Theo Walcott have refused to travel to the tournament because they fear "possible racist attacks", while Sol Campbell has warned fans that they risk "coming back in a coffin".
Fashanu has now voiced his concern. He told talkSPORT: "As a black Englishman I would find it impossible to go to the Ukraine under these circumstances. I wouldn't go to places where there is confusion [over the issue] when I can sit at home and watch it on television.
"You have to expect that Ukraine will boo our black players. The history's there, they're not going to change. In a massive tournament like this they're going to boo the black players.
"It's very unfortunate but in this day and age you expect something different. UEFA aren't serious enough about racism. It's a bad decision [to hold the tournament there]."
Fashanu played twice for the Three Lions in 1989.
