Zoro suffers another abuse


Messina's African defender Mark Zoro has urged FIFA, football's world governing body, to punish Inter Milan after their fans racially abused him for the second time this season.

The 22-year-old Ivory Coast international's every touch was met with a chorus of monkey chants from a large section of Inter fans during Saturday's Serie A match at the San Siro.

"I hope that the right steps are taken," Zoro said after Messina's 3-0 defeat. "I think these people are a disgrace to themselves, as their team also has coloured players."

In November, when Messina played at home to Inter, he was reduced to tears after being subjected to racial abuse by the visiting supporters.
