Former Chelsea team doctor Eva Carneiro broke her silence yesterday and criticised the way in which the Football Association investigated the alleged sexist remarks made to her by Jose Mourinho.

The Chelsea boss was caught on camera saying “Son of a bitch” in Spanish as Carneiro and Jon Fearn rushed onto the field during the opening match of the season against Swansea to treat a tired Eden Hazard.

But it has since been alleged that Mourinho had in fact called Carneiro a “daughter of a whore” in Portuguese.

The Chelsea boss was cleared by the FA, who said that it was “satisfied that the words used do not constitute discriminatory language under FA rules.”

But Carneiro criticised the process in which England’s football governing body came to this conclusion — at no point was she interviewed — and revealed the same happened last season after West Ham supporters hurled vile sexist chants at her.

In a statement she said: “I was surprised to learn that the FA was allegedly investigating the incident of August 8 via the press. I was at no stage requested by the FA to make a statement.

“I wonder whether this might be the only formal investigation in this country where the evidence of the individuals involved in the incident was not considered relevant. Choosing to ignore some of the evidence will surely influence the outcome of the findings.”

Carneiro was demoted from first-team duties after Mourinho used his post-match press conference at the start of the season to attack her actions. She parted company with Chelsea last week.

Mourinho was cleared by the FA of making discriminatory remarks but independent board member Heather Rabbatts criticised the FA on Thursday for not interviewing Carneiro herself.

Carneiro’s statement added: “Last season I had a similar experience at a game at West Ham, where I was subject to verbal abuse.

Following complaints by the public, the FA produced a communication to the press saying there had been no sexist chanting during this game.

“At no time was I approached for a statement despite the fact that vile unacceptable, sexually explicit abuse was clearly heard.

“It is incidents such as these and the lack of support from the football authorities that make it so difficult for women in the game.”

She also thanked Rabbatts for speaking up for her.

Carneiro added: “I admire what Heather Rabbatts has done and thank her and friends and colleagues who have supported me at this very difficult time.”

Mourinho refused to comment on the Carneiro case despite being pressed on the subject three times in his weekly press conference yesterday.

He said: “For the past two months I didn’t open my mouth and I’m going to keep it like this. One day I will speak and I will choose a day.

“I’m quiet about it for a long time. I read and I listen and I watch and I’m quiet. My time to speak will arrive when I decide.”

The FA hit back in response to Carneiro’s statement, saying: “We have never received any information or complaint from Dr Carneiro.

“Including in written correspondence with her lawyers, it has been made explicitly clear that if Dr Carneiro had evidence to provide or wished to make a complaint she was more than welcome to do so. That route remains open.”
