A former PSG defender was targeted by racist comments from two of his teammates. The latter were fired.
Transferred to RB Leipzig last summer for 15 million euros, El Chadaille Bitshiabu continues his progression within the German club’s U19s. In recent days, the 18-year-old French defender has been the target of racist insults from two players at the training center, reports Bild. And this several times. Word “negro” would have notably been pronounced.
Made aware of these despicable actions, RB Leipzig decided to part ways with the two players who uttered these insults towards the former Parisian. “Both men clearly made racist comments towards other players and therefore behaved in a completely unsporting and unacceptable manner”the Saxony club informed the German media.
“The behavior described has not been and will not be accepted or tolerated”
And to add: “Once the incidents were known, the sports management immediately informed them of their exemption. RB Leipzig opposes with conviction and determination racist, anti-constitutional and xenophobic efforts and other discriminatory or inhumane behavior and feels committed to the principle of fair play, to the fight against racism and xenophobia and to supporting the integration of young foreigners, particularly in sport and society. The behavior described has not been and will not be accepted or tolerated. »
