Toure calls for tougher sanctions

Yaya Toure has called for tougher sanctions to punish countries with racist fans saying abuse can “break” players – but refused to discuss his future at Manchester City.

City midfielder Toure, who suffered racist abuse while playing against CSKA Moscow in the Champions League, was speaking at the launch of FIFA’s new system of match observers to monitor incidents of racism and discrimination at World Cup qualifiers in the build-up to the 2018 tournament in Russia.
