Another incorrect sportsman

An Australian footballer this time:

"The NRL has reopened its racial vilification case against St George Illawarra's Dean Young.

The Daily Telegraph can reveal that the NRL wrote to St George Illawarra and Wests Tigers yesterday seeking additional information about Young allegedly calling Robbie Farah a "f ... ing wog" during their preliminary final clash last weekend.

The NRL match review committee could not obtain sufficient evidence to charge Young but NRL management yesterday moved to further investigate the claim.

If the NRL finds evidence of vilification, it is likely Young would be fined, not suspended.

"The first port of call for on-field matters is the match review committee however in incidents of this nature, there is also the potential for code of conduct implications," NRL chief operating officer Graham Annesley said.

"We have written to both clubs requesting their version of events before we decide whether any action is required."

Farah has said he would not pursue the matter.
