Milan, Jan 7 (IANS): AC Milan responded to FIFA president Sepp Blatter by urging "national and international authorities" to take action against racism in the sport.

FIFA president Blatter Sunday said that Boateng was wrong to "run away" from the insults. And Milan released a statement in response to his comments.

"AC Milan reaffirm its dissent towards all forms of racism, however they are manifested," read the statement.

"We invite the national and international sporting authorities to adopt and apply every rule against racism," it said.
