Cameron Jerome accuses Leeds' Giuseppe Bellusci of racist abuseNorwich City striker Cameron Jerome has claimed he was racially abused by Leeds defender Giuseppe Bellusci in Tuesday's match between the Championship sides.
The pair clashed midway through the first half ofĀ the 1-1 draw at Carrow RoadĀ when Jerome, 28, reacted angrily to something said by the Italian.
"Cameron has alleged that a racist remark was made," said Canaries boss Neil Adams after the game.
"I don't think he'd have reacted in the way he did if it hadn't happened."

Adams added that referee Mark Clattenburg, who stopped play to discuss Jerome's claims with him and Leeds manager Darko Milanic, has taken post-match statements from both players.
The 39-year-old official gave a warning to Bellusci, who joined Leeds from Serie B side Catania in the summer, following the incident. Moments later he booked Jerome when he clattered into the Leeds defender.

Giuseppe Bellusci had only played in Italy prior to his summer move to Leeds

"Mark came over to explain to myself and Darko exactly what had happened to put everybody in the picture, which I think was the right thing to do," added Adams.
"He spoke to the players and representatives from each club at half-time and he'll be taking statements from the players involved.
"Mark will submit a report to the relevant authorities and it will be dealt with from there. He didn't take any action at the time. He merely relayed what Cameron had said. It must now go through the proper channels.

"Yes, Bellusci is the player who has been alleged to have made the remark. My concern was to speak to Cameron at the break to make sure his head was right."
Adams added: "We back our player. I'm sure Leeds will back their player, but other than that we can't comment any further because there is now going to be an investigation I would expect."
In his post-match interview, Leeds boss Milanic said he had not spoken to 25-year-old Bellusci about the allegations.
"It is difficult for me to comment because I didn't hear anything," he added.

Remember hearing about that a little while ago on a podcast. Am I right in saying he made those comments and then shortly afterwards was voted president?
