"Saint-Maximin said last week his family was targeted and that protecting his children was his priority. The problem is not the colour of skin, it's the colour of thoughts. I am being attacked, that's not a problem. I have grown up, I have learned to fight against attacks. But there is one thing I will never tolerate, and that is attacks on my children, Saint-Maximin wrote on his social media last week."
"Lens said on Tuesday that Saint-Maximin was at the receiving end of a flood of hateful and racist insults on social media. In response, the club has been forced to close the comment sections on certain posts and will continue to take all necessary measures to make its social media platforms safe and respectful spaces for expression, Lens added. As a civic-minded and committed club, Racing reaffirms its attachment to the values of respect and tolerance, and stands alongside Allan and his loved ones, offering its full support."
