MOSCOW -- Russian club FC Rostov is likely to face a UEFA disciplinary case for fan racism after a banana was thrown onto the field during a Champions League game against PSV Eindhoven.The FARE Network, which monitors racist incidents for UEFA, said Thursday the banana was thrown about eight minutes into Wednesdays 2-2 draw.The banana remained on the field for at least 15 minutes.We have reviewed the media from the match and have seen that it took place in the 8th minute after Rostov scored and took place in the opposite end to the action, FARE director Piara Powar said in an e-mailed statement. A supplementary report to UEFA will follow from us this morning.Vyacheslav Koloskov, the Russian Football Unions honorary president, said the incident could tarnish Russias image as it prepares to host the World Cup in 2018.Rostovs home city of Rostov-on-Don will host games during the tournament.This banana could cost us heavily, he told the R-Sport agency. Its not to be tolerated at any time, especially now. Rostov may be forced to play a game behind closed doors.Non-white players, including former Brazil defender Roberto Carlos, have been taunted with bananas during Russian league games in recent years. Champions League games have also seen racist incidents involving Russian fans, with current league champion CSKA Moscow repeatedly punished by UEFA for offenses including monkey chants aimed at opposition players.In 2014, then-Rostov coach Igor Gamula was suspended by Russian soccer authorities for derogatory comments about black players on his team. Following protests by Rostovs players, he was removed from his post and given a role with the youth team, where he remains.The most recent research from FARE and the Moscow-based SOVA Center reported a surge in the number of racist displays by Russian soccer fans, with most cases going unpunished. Researchers logged 92 incidents of discriminatory displays and chants by Russian fans in and around stadiums in the 2014-15 season, compared to 83 for the previous two seasons combined.Rafael Marquez Jersey . - The Oakland Raiders re-signed offensive lineman Khalif Barnes on Friday.
