UEFA have dished out the 'dirt' on CSKA Moscow and ordered them to close a section of their ground for a European game, against Bayern Munich in November, for the abuse directed at Yaya Toure a couple of weeks ago.

 

Toure was the subject of racist taunts from the Russian crowd and after the matter was investigated by UEFA, they have now decided to punish CSKA Moscow.

"The fight against racism is a high priority for UEFA," said a statement.

"The European governing body has a zero-tolerance policy towards racism and discrimination on the pitch and in the stands.

"All forms of racist behaviour are considered serious offences against the disciplinary regulations and are punished with the most severe sanctions.

"Following the entry into force of the new disciplinary regulations on 1 June, the fight against racist conduct has been stepped up a level, resulting in more severe sanctions to deter any such behaviour."

If CSKA Moscow are found guilty of a second offence of racial abuse by their supporters they could be punished with a full stadium closure.

Yaya Toure told reporters that he had told the referee, Ovidiu Hategan, about the chants with the official not following UEFA's protocol of advising stadium officials. 

CSKA denied the allegation at the time but have now been found guilty.
