Davis did not hold back on social media, posting an image of Dossena on his Instagram story. âThis racist coward called me a monkey today during the game,â he wrote. âI hope the Serie A association will do something about this but we will see.â
Dossena issued his own Instagram response shortly afterwards, firmly rejecting the allegation. âBeing accused of racism saddens and hurts me,â he said.
âIt is a very serious accusation, it would never pass through my mind to call another person, a colleague, an insult of that kind. This is the first time I have been involved in a situation like this where I have to defend myself from a slanderous accusation. Behaviour like this is entirely outside of my culture and beliefs.â
Cagliari manager Fabio Pisacane also defended his player after the match. âI know his values, it does not even cross my mind that he could have said such things,â Pisacane said. âI spoke with Alberto and I believe him, because I know him well.â
The club itself followed up with a formal statement, expressing surprise at Udineseâs communication and insisting the alleged incident had found no objective confirmation at the end of the match. The matter is now expected to be referred to the relevant sporting justice authorities.
