Russian FA vows Notting Hill Carnival boycott.

Suggestions that black players may boycott the 2018 World Cup has led the Russian FA to threaten their withdrawal from future Notting Hill Carnivals.

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure, who suffered abuse during his side’s Champions League clash against CSKA Moscow, claimed black players may not travel to the tournament unless steps were taken to prevent further racism.

A spokesman for the Russian FA, Rushev Bolshik, disputed the country had a problem with racism and warned they would not be entering a float into future Notting Hill Carnivals unless monkey noises and banana waving are deemed an acceptable way of supporting your team.

“We all remember the last World Cup in South Africa where the noise from horns was so loud you could barely hear the monkey chants – yet that was given the all clear,” he told journalists at Moscow press conference.
