French football continues to gain height. After the “Actor Studio” show from Marseille communication director Jacques Cardoze to pass De Niro for an amateur, it was the Lyon club which in turn revolted against the decision of the LFP disciplinary committee, which withdrew a point from the club Lyon in addition to giving the match to replay behind closed doors.
“A sanction that creates unequal treatment”
The club of President Jean-Michel Aulas, who said to reserve “the right to appeal”, also regretted in a press release “a very heavy sanction”, which “creates unequal treatment over the same season”, with ” much more serious acts resulting in much lighter sanctions than those decreed against Olympique Lyonnais. “
“The lack of a scale established for penalties now poses a significant risk to the sporting and financial fairness of French clubs. It is now incomprehensible to see an escalation in the sanctions where each new club summoned is found with the “disciplinary record” of those who preceded it. Only lasting solutions will allow football to emerge from the top and put an end to the incidents that all the clubs unanimously condemn ”, continues the press release, which ends a particularly damaging streak for OL, dropped in L1 and who is about to lose his sports director in January.
