The Russian Football Union have banned Ufa’s Emmanuel Frimpong for two games, rejecting claims that he was racially abused by the supporters of Spartak Moscow.
Frimpong, a former Arsenal player, was hit with a two-game suspension after he was sent off in the match between the two sides. The midfielder raised a finger in response to the alleged chanting.
Subsequently, according to Reuters (h/t Eurosport.co.uk), an RFU disciplinary committee found “no evidence” that any racist abuse occurred.
