Police probe continues

Merseyside Police will continue their investigations into allegations that Blackburn forward El-Hadji Diouf made a racist remark to a ball-boy at Sunday's Barclays Premier League match at Everton.Police sources suggest that over the next 48 hours the Goodison Park ball-boy who has made the allegation will also be questioned.Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce was left fuming by his side's abject performance in the 3-0 defeat, and now he has the added problem of this latest allegation against the controversial Senegal international.Diouf was interview by police, accompanied by a Blackburn official, in a private room at Goodison Park an hour after Sunday's match.The Senegalese international was seemingly involved in an altercation with the ball-boy during the first half, Diouf then suffered abuse from home fans, and again when he went to take two corners in the area of the original incident.A police spokesman said: "Merseyside Police are looking into an allegation that a 28-year-old man used racist language at the Everton match."
