LONDON — Chelsea captain John Terry was charged by the English Football Association Friday with racially abusing an opponent, two weeks after he was cleared by a court of the same offense. The FA said it considered the evidence from the trial before charging Terry with directing abuse at Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand during a Premier League match last October. “I deny the charge and I will be requesting the opportunity to attend the commission for a personal hearing,” Terry said. The FA alleges Terry “used abusive and/or insulting words and/or behavior.” — AP
