probe into russian banana attack
Moscow: Russian football chiefs on Tuesday launched an investigation into an apparent racially-motivated attack on Anzhi Makhachkala’s Congolese defender Christopher Samba.
Media reports said that Samba was on his way to the dressing room after the final whistle of Sunday’s game at Lokomotiv Moscow, which his side lost 1-0, when a banana came flying from the VIP box, landing nearby.
The 27-year-old player picked it up and threw it back and said afterwards that he hoped it served as an example of “how not to behave”.
