Juventus are embroiled in controversy after a section of their fans reportedly sang racist chants against Inter youngster Mario Balotelli during their Champions League tie with Girondins de Bordeaux.
President Jean-Claude Blanc has already called on the fans to help the club shed their negative image, and revealed that the club are also collaborating with UNESCO.
Mohamed Sissoko has now implored the authorities to take further action against the guilty parties, as the players and the club have done everything possible in order to combat racism both on and off the pitch.
"I am absolutely against any form of racism, both in sport and in life," Sissoko stated to Il Corriere dello Sport.
"We, the players, have reiterated our position on every occasion, we have done everything possible; Juventus, as a club, have taken all steps necessary.
"The institutions must now intervene."
Milan midfielder Clarence Seedorf has also waded in on the debate, telling Tuttosport that the chants were, in fact, not racist as Balotelli was being abused for his behaviour rather than the colour of his skin.
However, UEFA are opening an investigation into the case. The proceedings should begin on Friday.
