Chelsea
will not face any punishment over alleged anti-Semitic chanting, UEFA has
announced.
Chelsea were charged by the European governing body for racist behaviour
during a Europa League match against Hungarian side Vidi in December.
During the game it was alleged a number of Chelsea fans sung a derogatory
song about Tottenham featuring anti-Semitic language.
At the time Chelsea issued a strongly-worded statement condemning a small
section of their travelling support for behaviour they said had "shamed the
club".
Chairman Bruce Buck said the club "will not rest until we have eliminated
all forms of discrimination from our club".
Chelsea could have faced a partial closure of Stamford Bridge in European
competition if found guilty - but there was little explanation from European
football's governing body for the decision.
A UEFA statement simply read: "The CEDB [control, ethics and disciplinary
body] has decided to close the disciplinary proceedings against Chelsea FC."
