The Metropolitan Police said the force is assessing whether an investigation is needed following complaints about presenter Gary Lineker's social media post which led to his early exit from the BBC.
The pundit issued an unreserved apology on Monday after he deleted a post he had previously shared about Zionism that featured a picture of a rat.
After this weekend's Match Of The Day, Lineker, 64, will leave his presenting role at the BBC and will no longer front the corporation's coverage of the 2026 World Cup or the FA Cup next season...
...In the wake of his departure, after 26 years at the BBC, the vice president of the Board Of Deputies Of British Jews, Andrew Gilbert, called on the BBC to implement antisemitism training for all its staff.
Mr Gilbert said: "We had called for his departure and welcome this outcome. This incident further underscores the importance and urgency of implementing antisemitism training for all BBC staff."
