ANDRIY SHEVCHENKO APOLOGY
09/02/2007
ON January 16 we published an article entitled "Shev's a 'Snitch' " that said Andriy Shevchenko's team-mates regarded him as a snitch who was passing details of his dealings with Jose Mourinho back to Roman Abramovich (an allegation we repeated on January 19).
We also reported that the players blamed Shevchenko for the row between Abramovich and Mourinho. As a consequence we said his team-mates could not trust him and this was affecting team morale.
We also claimed on January 17 that Shevchenko had exacerbated his rift with Mourinho by asking Abramovich to replace Mourinho with AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti.
We now accept that these allegations are untrue and we apologise to Andriy Shevchenko for any distress caused by their publication.
