Controversy

Tarasov caused controversy when he removed his shirt to reveal a vest displaying a picture of Vladimir Putin with the words "the most polite president", during an already politically charged[5] match between Turkish opponents Fenerbahce in their 2-0 Europa League defeat on Tuesday 16th February 2016.[6] It was anticipated that an official judging on the stunt would turn up in one month time. UEFA chose to fine him € 5000.
