Bananas soon banned in stadiums?
MD
A football fan was arrested and summoned to explain why he had brought a banana in his bag to come and see the game. The incident happened before the match Yenisey Krasnoyarsk-Novosibirsk, the first match for the Russian division.
Bananas have become the symbols of racist attacks in Russian football, after two incidents suffered by the Brazilian Roberto Carlos. In March, a banana had been sent before entering the field, and in June a banana was thrown during the game on the ground causing the premature exit of Roberto Carlos . The clubs involved were fined 300 000 rubles ($ 10,630).
The Russian parliament is studying the idea of declaring the football field "area of risk" to fight more strongly against racism and xenophobia in the stadiums. Remember that Russia should host the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
