CHELSEA striker Sam Kerr has been cleared of causing racially aggravated harassment after calling a Metropolitan Police officer “stupid and white.”

Kerr, 31, and her partner, West Ham midfielder Kristie Mewis, had been out drinking when they were driven to Twickenham Police Station by a taxi driver who complained that they had refused to pay clean-up costs after one of them was sick and that one of them had smashed the vehicle’s rear window.
