February 3 – The British government is coming under even more pressure to ban two English top-flight clubs from official projects promoting Britain overseas because of their links to Russian billionaire oligarchs.
The move comes  following the detention of Russia’s opposition leader Alexei Navalny that has caused outcry among western democracies.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich (pictured) and Alisher Usmanov, who has ties with Everton, were named by Navalny as being on a list of those who should be targeted by Western governments in a bid to curb human-rights abuses by the regime of Vladimir Putin.
