The French Sports Minister, Amélie Oudéa-Castera, called for punishment for Malian player Mohamed Camara and Monaco for covering the anti-homophobia logo printed on the team’s shirt in the game against Nantes in the French Championship with a sticker.
“Behavior like this must be punished with the firmest sanctions, against the player and against the club, which allowed it”, explained Oudéa-Castera this Monday (20).
The minister called Camara’s attitude “inadmissible”. “I was able to tell the Professional Football League (LFP) what I think about this,” she added.
During the 34th and final round of the French Championship, Mohamed Camara, who scored one of the goals from the penalty spot in Monaco’s 4-0 victory over Nantes, stuck adhesive tape over the logo against homophobia that all players, coaches and referees used on Sunday, in an LFP campaign against discrimination.
