Ghanaian footballer Draman Haminu on his experiences playing in Russia

Last November, the Russian Football Union adopted a seven-point memorandum on fighting racism.

But this week a photograph was published showing a fan of league champions Zenit St Petersburg waving a banana at Roberto Carlos. The former Brazilian star was captaining the visiting team, Anzhi Makhachkala.

Ghanaian footballer Draman Haminu, of FC Lokomotiv, has been playing in Russia for three-and-a-half years. He talks about the experiences he has had since being in the country.
