Man arrested for allegedly racially abusing Semenyo has been given conditional bail
A man arrested on suspicion of racially abusing Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo during a Premier League game has been released on conditional bail, police said Monday. Merseyside Police said the 47-year-man from Liverpool cannot attend a soccer match in Britain or go within one mile (1.6 kilometers) of a soccer stadium in Britain while on bail. The man was arrested on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offense after Semenyo, who is Black, reported to the referee that he was racially abused by a spectator in the first half of Bournemouth's match against Liverpool at Anfield on Friday. The man was removed from the stadium soon after the alleged incident, which led to a brief stoppage in play. An investigation 'remains ongoing and we continue to work closely with the club,' Merseyside Police said. On Saturday, Semenyo, a 25-year-old Ghana international, thanked his Bournemouth teammates, Liverpool's players and the soccer community as a whole for the 'overwhelming messages of support' he received after reporting that he was racially abused. Semenyo played the whole game and scored twice after the alleged incident in Bournemouth's 4-2 loss to Liverpool. ___
