On Sunday Fabio stated that,”I thought it was right that Terry should keep the captain’s armband, I have spoken to the FA chairman and I have said that in my opinion one cannot be punished until it is official and the court – a non-sport court, a civil court – had made a decision to decide if John Terry has done what he is accused of.”
