Midfielder Laryea Kingston has revealed suffering racial abuse from Andrei Arshavin during his time in Russia with Locomotiv Moscow. Arshavin who now plays for English club Arsenal came into contact with Kingston on several occasions plying his trade in the Russian league with Zenite St.Petersburg. And it was during one of such league encounters between Locomotive and Zenit where the Russian captain was said to have called Kingston a monkey three times” on the field of play. “You know Arsenal’s Arshavin…he called me a monkey when I was at Locomotiv Moscow and he (Arshavin) plays for Zenith St. Petersburg,” Kingston told Metro TV’s soccer academy team when asked of his challenges during playing times in Europe. The former Hearts of Oak player went on to recall several instances where African players have suffered similar of even worst abuse in Russia. Kingston’s revelations goes a long way to confirm reports of several racial abuse suffered by blacks especially in North-Eastern Europe. However Russian authorities have initiated moves to curbing this cancer as they build up to host the World Cup in 2018.
