English club, Sheffield United have said convicted rapist, Ched Evans will not be returning to train at the club, following public outcry over the earlier decision to allow him use the club’s facilities.
Evans was released from jail last month after serving half of a five-year sentence for rape, but has refused to apologize to his victim or accept his guilt.
In a statement, Sheffield United said: “After ongoing and extensive deliberation, Sheffield United Football Club has decided to retract the opportunity for its former player, Ched Evans, to use the Club’s facilities for training purposes, as was previously intended. The Club initially accepted a request from The PFA (Professional Football Association) for Ched Evans to be able to train. The reaction to this has been at an intensity that could not have been anticipated when first announced”.
