Raging Lazio midfielder Ousmane Dabo has hit out at team-mate Paolo Di Canio saying: "I've had it with these fascists." The Frenchman criticised Di Canio - the club captain - after his fascist salute to biancocelesti supporters in the weekend defeat to Livorno.
"I will not talk to him any more," said Dabo. "I must say that I've broken my b**** playing with the likes of him. I've had it with these fascists even if they are only a minority of the supporters."
A section of Lazio fans are notorious for their extreme right-wing views, often chanting fascist songs and proclaiming their admiration for fascist figures, with visiting black players - and even black Lazio squad members - facing racist abuse.
But Lazio coach Delio Rossi defended Di Canio, justifying his gesture by saying Livorno's treatment of his team was worse than the actions of his 37-year-old forward.
"Di Canio's gesture has been overly stigmatised," Rossi said. "But nobody has even mentioned what happened to us.
"When we pulled up at the stadium in the team coach, one of our players almost got hit by a firework. Then, during the match, Di Canio received continual abuse.
"There was one instance where Paolo fell in the penalty area and he was trampled on by an opponent.
"There has not been a single television transmission that has mentioned any of these episodes. We have made nothing of this and yet the other side has taken aim at a man and his gesture."

Fiorentina are reportedly close to landing Sweden international Christian Wilhelmsson.
The surprise package of Serie A, currently third in the table, are keen to bolster their squad in the transfer window, and have made the Anderlecht winger their prime target.
According to Italian sources, the clubs have reached an agreement that would bring Wilhelmsson to Fiorentina for around €4 million.
They had previously had an offer for the 26-year-old, who has also been linked with Premiership clubs Newcastle and Tottenham, rejected in the summer.
