Volleyball Alexey Spiridonov has received a two-match disqualification at the level of teams because of an incident that occurred during a World Cup match. Formally, a player punished for gesture shown the fans, not the story of the spit. The Russian side does not intend to appeal.
The decision on the case Spiridonov finally accepted, and it turned out to be disappointing for the volleyball player of the Russian team. Alex received a two-legged suspension extending to the meeting with the participation of national teams.
Interestingly, Spiridonov was not punished for spitting, about which so much talk after the match against Poland at the World Cup, and for disrespect to the fans.
After one of the goals scored by Alexey Spiridonov pretended to shoot the audience with a machine gun, which was the reason for the disciplinary proceedings bodies.
«It is not disqualified for spitting, and for the gesture to the fans – said in a conversation with “Gazetoy.Ru” Secretary General of the Russian Volleyball Federation, Alexander Yaremenko. – There is a record of the match with slow motion instant replays. Such a gesture in this day and in this situation can be treated much more severe.
We did some work, held meetings with the arrival of Graça (President of FIVB. – «Times”), pronounces this episode. The Disciplinary Commission has listened to the views of the Federation, it was not a gesture of terrorism, or any threat. Just such a gesture of joy.
Given that the FIVB somehow had to respond to the statement of the Polish fans and the press, the penalty can be considered minimal, so of course we are not going to appeal.
spittle? Spittle was not. Polish fans, who had been decently drunk, says he spat in his face. Knowing the reputation of Spiridonov, I think this is a provocation. Given the testimony of Alexis that he did not do it.
The provocation could well be, especially during the match Russia – Poland. The situation there was not very easy, “- said Yaremenko” Gazeta.ru ».
Meanwhile, the atmosphere around Spiridonov heated initially because of allegations about the Polish fans spitting. Spiridonov himself from the beginning to react to the scandal very emotional, but the fact spitting always denied, and the upcoming decision of the FIVB was not paying much attention.
«I am not interested in a solution FIVB. It has long been necessary to forget. I can also write anything on Twitter, and it smashed in half an hour for the whole country, and even the whole world, any information, unsubstantiated and unconfirmed. It’s just a word. Pole not shot my analysis of saliva from his face.
Perhaps this whole story just because now many of us do not like. I do not want to meddle in politics, but as you can see what they say in the West on sanctions, war in Ukraine, etc. There is one on television, there is – is quite another. And this story also fanned Western media », –
Spiridonov said in an interview with” Gazeta.ru “in October.
