FA statement on recent allegations:

Since these allegations first came to light, The FA has been liaising with The Daily Telegraph and subsequently the City of London Police.

The FA treats any allegations of this nature seriously and is committed to investigating them thoroughly, in conjunction with any other appropriate body. 
 
We have requested full and unfettered disclosure of all available material from The Daily Telegraph. This is yet to be provided.
