Den israeliska klubben HC Holon har bötfällts av EHF efter att ha försökt fuska in spelare till en matchtrupp med hjälp av stavfel.
HC Holon vill nog helst glömma EHF-cupen 2017/18. Inte nog med att de åkte på pisk med totalt 35-90 (17-46, 18-44) mot ungerska Vaci NKSE, de drabbas nu också av rätt saftiga böter.
EHF meddelar sitt beslut enligt följande:
”The Court of Handball has released its decision in a case opened against HC Holon (ISR) after the club attempted to irregularly modify the list of players eligible to play the Women’s EHF Cup 2017/18 Qualification Round 1.
Indeed, the club tried to misuse an option offered under the EHFamily portal to make some minor modifications such as typographical errors to replace a player despite having been informed during the technical meeting that no modification was allowed any longer.
The panel finds this behaviour to violate the principle of fair-play and to constitute an attempt to forge a document. Hence, in accordance with Article G.1 of the EHF List of Penalties, a fine of 5,000 € is imposed on the club, half of it being deferred for a probationary period of two years.”
Huruvida denna spelare hade kunnat hämta upp 55-målsförlusten kan vi bara spekulera i men kostsamt blev det för HC Holon.
