In 2012, referee Mark Clattenburg was accused of racism by Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
This incident occurred during a match against Manchester United in the English Premier League. Clattenburg even mentioned that he thought about committing suicide because of this incident.
He emphasized that this event had a very negative impact on his and his family's lives. The referee went through the toughest moments of his life, unable to find peace for 12 hours.
Realizing that he could not continue his officiating career, he deeply contemplated what he could do in his life. As a result of this incident, Clattenburg was suspended from competitions for four weeks.
This period became one of the difficult phases of his professional career. Such situations once again highlighted how important the principles of justice and humanity are in the field of sports.
