Emmanuel Frimpong given two-match ban for response to racist abuse
Emmanuel Frimpong said it was “beyond a joke” after the Russian Football Union (RFU) on Wednesday rejected allegations that the Ufa midfielder was racially abused by Spartak Moscow supporters. “But naturally the topic of anti-discrimination is a very important topic for Federation Internationale de Football Association and…in May we launched a monitoring system for the 2018 Federation Internationale de Football Association World Cup”.
The Russian government disputes the figures but Federation Internationale de Football Association President Sepp Blatter told The Associated Press that they “concerned” the governing body.

“Been banned for two games – acceptable on my part for the gesture, no problems with that”.
The Frimpong incident was followed by Zenit St. Petersburg’s striker Hulk disclosing Monday at a FIFA-organized media event that he encounters racism in “almost every game” in Russian Federation.
“Usually it happens when Russian clubs play and it doesn’t come out to the world and the world doesn’t know about this”, he said through a translator.
The 23-year-old former Arsenal man was sent off after he raised a finger to the crowd in response and has been suspended for two games, while Spartak will face no punishment. I used to get raging, but now I see this doesn’t help, so I just send a kiss to our fans and try not to get raging.
“But for the Russian FA to say they didn’t hear or see any evidence of racism is beyond a Joke…Glad it’s all over thanks for support”.
Hulk is the most expensive signing in Russian Federation and has repeatedly encountered monkey chants – and also claimed a referee had racially abused him.
CSKA were hit with partial stadium closure in the 2013-14 Uefa Champions League group stage over the racist behaviour of their fans during a group stage clash with Manchester City.
