After the poisoning of Sochi players, Boris Rotenberg said that he does not blame Akhmat
President of the Sochi football club Boris Rotenberg spoke about the poisoning of team players before the Russian Premier League (RPL) match against Akhmat in Grozny. His words are quoted by Sport Express.
According to the functionary, he has no claims either to the Grozny club or to its management. “If the league, which had not responded at all, had reacted in time, we could have rescheduled the match. Because the management of Akhmat was ready for this. We have normal, friendly relations with the club,” Rotenberg said.
He also noted that he decided to take the team to the game because it was in danger of technical defeat. “I said: “Whoever is alive come out and play.” This was done so that there would be no scandal,” added the Sochi president.
On April 25, the head coach of Sochi, Spaniard Robert Moreno, announced that 14 team players had been poisoned before the match with Akhmat. He called the league’s refusal to reschedule the game a disgrace. The meeting ended with a minimal victory for the Grozny residents.
