The removed expression of the England national team captain by Terry © EuroFootball.com

Not escaping from the scandal whirlwind, John Terry lost the captain's armband of the England national team.

The decision was made because in July the London defender will have to appear in court for insulting the black player Anton Ferdinand from "Queens Park Rangers" with racial motives.

According to representatives of the Football Association (FA), the decision will remain in effect until the case is resolved. Coach Fabio Capello has so far defended his player and did not intend to strip him of his responsibilities, but the FA board did so.
