A police investigation has ended into claims a Liverpool footballer racially abusing another player.

Greater Manchester Police acted on complaints from two deaf fans who claimed to read a player's lips on TV.

Last Thursday Liverpool's Steve Finnan, 29, said he was astonished by claims he had racially abused Manchester United's Patrice Evra.

The force said on Monday no further action would be taken following Crown Prosecution Service advice.

The player issued a statement on Liverpool FC's website saying he wanted to set the record straight.

A GMP spokesman said the investigation was complete and the case was closed.
