Athletistic / Football. The scandal happened unexpectedly. A Rubin player, after a victorious match against Zenit, jokingly said: “Krasnodar, we are waiting for money on the card.” The RFU saw in this sentence something more than just a joke.
RFU general secretary Maxim Mitrofanov, who was previously general director of Zenit, filed a complaint with the ethics committee.
“Regardless of the context and format in which the statement of Rubin footballer Ruslan Bezrukov was made, the financial stimulation of an opponent by a third party constitutes a blatant violation of the principle of fair play and the ethical rules of the RFU “, commented the RFU. the situation.
The RFU press service compared Bezrukov’s words with the stimulation of Chernomorets players before the match against Chaika by Urozhay general director Gradilenko (at that time Gradilenko was suspended for a year).
