Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan has reportedly told his board members not to attend tonight's Championship clash against Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium due to the racism allegations that have surrounded Malky Mackay and Dave Whelan.

Wigan chairman Whelan was fined £50,000 by the Football Association and given a six-week ban back in December for his controversial comments about Jewish and Chinese people.

Mackay is currently under investigation by the governing body regarding alleged racist, homophobic and sexist text messages that he exchanged with former head of recruitment Iain Moody during the pair's time together at Cardiff.

According to BBC Sport, Tan's order to boycott tonight's match has been supported by the directors.

Cardiff are 17th in the league table, while Wigan are second from bottom.
