Soccer-FA apologises to women internationals Aluko and Spence

LONDON, Oct 18 (Reuters) - The Football Association made a public apology to England women's soccer internationals Eniola Aluko and Drew Spence on Wednesday for discriminatory comments made to them by former manager Mark Sampson.

The apology came in a statement just as a parliamentary inquiry was beginning in London with senior FA officials facing questions over the investigations into Sampson's alleged racism and bullying of Aluko. (Reporting by Ian Chadband; Editing by Christian Radnedge)
