Chelsea have welcomed the FA's decision to class the highly offensive "rent boy" chant as a breach of their rules, with the Crown Prosectution Service previously confirming that it could amount to a hate crime.
The chant has been frequently aimed at Chelsea players and those associated with the club, and was heard during the Blues' recent draw at Nottingham Forest and directed at Everton boss and Chelsea legend Frank Lampard during last Friday's FA Cup third round tie with Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Both the FA and the CPS have promised to rid it from the game, and Chelsea issued a statement praising their moves on Friday.
