Former basketball star John Amaechi is considering legal action against a bar in Manchester's gay village that refused to let him in.
The 39-year-old said a doorman at Crunch on Canal Street described him as "big, black and could be trouble".
Mr Amaechi, who was out with friends on Friday, has complained to the council and demanded an apology from the bar.
Crunch said entry was refused on safety grounds and called the allegations "outrageous and unfounded".
Mr Amaechi's office has written to the club to seek an explanation for why he was refused entry.
'Issues of bigotry'
"I want an explanation of what happened - a real true explanation - and an apology, and they have not in any way been forthcoming with that," he told the BBC.
