Renee Hector (L) made the allegations on Twitter

“I strongly stand firm that I am not guilty with regards to the charge that the FA have brought against me.“I am struggling to come to terms with this decision and how The FA can come to a verdict based on probability from the two witness accounts verbally given, instead of reviewing the case and its evidence, in its entirety, based on the Sport Law and Practice Second Edition stating ‘the more serious the allegation the greater degree of satisfaction required’.“The FA ‘independent’ panel received more than 10 other witness statements from payers with the alleged incident vicinity including Tottenham players, also all the match officials, all confirming they did not hear any racial abuse and or comments made.“I strongly stand firm that I am not guilty with regards to the charge that the FA have brought against me. “I am struggling to come to terms with this decision and how The FA can come to a verdict based on probability from the two witness accounts verbally given, instead of reviewing the case and its evidence, in its entirety, based on the Sport Law and Practice Second Edition stating ‘the more serious the allegation the greater degree of satisfaction required’.“The FA ‘independent’ panel received more than 10 other witness statements from payers with the alleged incident vicinity including Tottenham players, also all the match officials, all confirming they did not hear any racial abuse and or comments made.After the verdict was reached, Hector also released a statement reading: “There is no place for racism in our game.
