May 22- Paris St Germain have been called before Uefa’s disciplinary commission over allegations of racism by their fans at last month’s Champions League clash against Chelsea in Paris.
The allegations concern “racism, other discriminatory conduct and propaganda” during the quarterfinal first leg.
A UEFA statement released to Press Association read: “Disciplinary proceedings have been opened against PSG on 16 May 2014 for alleged offences concerning ‘racism, other discriminatory conduct and propaganda’ at their UEFA Champions League quarter-final played against Chelsea in Paris.
“The UEFA control and disciplinary body will decide on the matter on 17 July 2014.
“We do not make any further comment until the official disciplinary decision is announced by end of July.”
A report on the website of Paris newspaper Le Parisien indicated that a group of disabled Chelsea fans had filed a complaint after objects including chewing gum and a bottle were thrown at them during the game at the Parc des Princes.
The alleged abuse inside the stadium may have been prompted by clashes outside when Chelsea fans reportedly taunted home supporters by making Nazi salutes while around 100 PSG ultras took the law into their own hands.
