Share your experiences of racism and islamophobia in sport

We would like to hear your experiences of feeling pushed out of sport due to racism and islamophobia

The testimony by Azeem Rafiq on the racism he experienced as a cricket player has sent shockwaves across the country, but for many others, it triggered a profound sense of deja vu. Rafiq told the digital, culture, media and sport committee on Tuesday that he lost his career to racism.

If you have been affected we would like to hear from you. We are particularly interested in hearing from those in the South Asian community on your experiences of racism and islamophobia, and whether you also felt it pushed you out of sport.
