Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand has released a statement regarding the ongoing racism investigation which is trying to determine whether he was racially abused by John Terry.

The 26-year-old has revealed that he has "strong feelings" on the matter, while also taking the time to thank those that have offered him support.

"I have very strong feelings on the matter, but in the interests of fairness and not wishing to prejudice what I am sure will be a very thorough enquiry by the FA, this will be my last comment on the subject until the enquiry is concluded," read a statement from the centre-back.

"I would like to thank the club, Tony Fernandes, Amit Bhatia, Neil Warnock, the supporters and my fellow professionals for their unwavering support."

Chelsea and England captain Terry has denied the allegations.
