“Rubin” punished football player Bezrukov for a joke about a cash bonus from “Krasnodar”
Rubin Kazan applied disciplinary punishment to football player Ruslan Bezrukov, who joked about a cash bonus from Krasnodar. This was reported on the team’s website.
The club apologized for the player’s words and called them unacceptable. An explanatory conversation was held with the midfielder.
“We have great respect for the efforts of the Russian Football Union (RFU) to cleanse Russian football of all forms of corruption. Therefore, even hints at something like that are absolutely unacceptable,” Rubin emphasized.
On April 24, Bezrukov jokingly demanded a bonus from Krasnodar for defeating Zenit in the national championship match. “Krasnodar, we are waiting for money on the card,” the footballer said on Match TV. The head of the RFU, Alexander Dyukov, considered the statement unacceptable, and the ethics committee promised to consider the midfielder’s words.
