Despite Fifa's failure to properly address the racist abuse suffered by Emmanuel Frimpong in Russia, the Ghana FA aren't so dismissive of the matter.

The Ghanaian suffered disgusting abuse from Spartak Moscow fans whilst playing for Ufa, and was sent off for reacting with a middle-finger salute. He was also handed a two-game ban for reacting. The Russia FA however insists "there were no instances of racism. We have no grounds to take disciplinary sanctions against Spartak." The Ghana FA were keen for the public to judge for themselves and have Tweeted out a video footage of the hateful fan behaviour. https://twitter.com/ghanafaofficial/status/624132811453239296 As is evident from the clip, Frimpong is subject to clearly audible monkey chants. Sadly this is less obvious to the Russian authorities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJkrTInob3Q
