Thought they've probably gotten away with it:
Equally The FA is satisfied that the allegation against Mark Clattenburg by Ramires was made in good faith. It is entirely possible for a witness to be genuinely mistaken and convincing in his belief.
But Mikel will be charged with misconduct.

FA Charge Mikel with using abusive language
Not even a slight hint of an apology in Chelsea's statement.

Posted on: Thu 22 Nov 2012
Chelsea Football Club accepts the Football Association's decision regarding Mark Clattenburg and welcomes the fact that the FA recognises the club and players were correct in reporting the matter.
The FA states Chelsea took the correct action following the Manchester United match and encourages all players who believe they have been either subject, or witness, to discriminatory abuse to report the matter immediately to the match officials on the day, and in turn to the FA.
The club also notes the charge brought against John Mikel Obi. While the player does not deny the charge, he will request a personal hearing to explain the mitigating circumstances.
With regards to the Mark Clattenburg decision, the club accepts the case is now concluded and notes the FA states the allegation was made in good faith.
Chelsea FC cooperated fully with the FA and provided 11 witness statements covering all events during and after the Premier League game on October 28.
Chelsea FC has a duty of care, as do all employers, to act responsibly when such allegations are reported by employees. We did not take the decision to lodge a formal complaint with the FA lightly and followed the correct processes and protocols throughout. The club carried out a thorough investigation, led by outside legal counsel, using all information available to us. As the FA makes clear, it is not uncommon for investigations to lead to no disciplinary charge being brought.
All those directly involved have been subjected to scrutiny over the last weeks. Chelsea FC now hopes that all concerned can continue to carry out their duties without prejudice.
We are committed to working alongside all referees and their assistants to ensure games are conducted in the right spirit and that all our players and staff accept and observe the match officials' authority and decisions.
A cesspit of a club run by a gangster and staffed top to bottom by the dregs of the planet. It appears no penalty will apply, in fact it looks lie the authorities haven't even considered sanctions. But you can get an extra ban just for appealing a red card. The priorities are certainly in order then.
Okay, we don't like Dowd or Dean so a freebie race accusation should take care of them next time they turn up. Because that's the precedent being set here isn't it? And what about that foul society for black lawyers? Do they walk away from this as well? Or possibly they feel this is a racially motivated decision by the FA? Why not? All it would take is a frivolous accusations and they are in business.
Für eure Sicherheit
Yeah but their money is 'good for the game' remember?
As much as the accusation itself, can Clattenburg have grounds for taking action against the media outlets who set out to destroy his reputation in the immediate aftermath of the event? Articles like http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2...ea-allegations and http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/9641911/Mark-Clattenburg-affair-highlights-era-of-celebrity-referees-with-a-secret-lust-for-fame-is-a-recipe-for-disaster.html.
Basically the whole thing stinks top to bottom.
