After the conviction of Medhi Benatia by the LFP, OM reacted strongly to express its incomprehension. The instance then responded.
Wednesday evening, Medhi Benatia was sanctioned with three matches of firm suspension, plus three suspended matches, by the LFP disciplinary committee. the sports advisor of Olympique de Marseille is paying the price for his bloodshed against the Olympic refereeing body.
A sanction considered far too severe by the Marseille club.
“Olympique de Marseille takes note of the sanction imposed by the LFP disciplinary committee on its sports advisor, Medhi Benatia. The club strongly disagrees with this decision and finds the treatment of its sports advisor totally disproportionate even though he was not guilty of insulting or threatening the officiating refereeing body. during the match against Olympique Lyonnais on September 22. This decision is all the more surprising and incomprehensible as it is not consistent or balanced with regard to similar situations or events that occurred recently or in the more distant past for which the commission ruled. OM would like to point out that the club will continue to make its voice heard whenever it considers it necessary. responded OM via a press release.
Benatia, the president of the LFP justifies himself
Faced with this Olympian anger, the president of the body gave explanations. “The committee considers that the comments made by Mr. Benatia are, on the one hand, at half-time of the match, inappropriate, and, at the end of the match, hurtful. They tend to call into question the integrity of Mr. Bastien and in a diffuse manner the supposed treatment of his club, while Mr. Benatia embodies an important figure in OM. He therefore incurred his responsibility for having twice, during the same evening, violated the disciplinary regulations and the ethics charter, even if it is also necessary to take into account his disciplinary record free of any sanction. , said the president of the LFP, Sébastien Deneux, in the columns of The Team.
The OM sports advisor has the possibility of contesting this decision before the higher appeal committee which sits at the FFF or contacting the CNOSF directly. If he accepts the sanction, he will see the three matches for which he is suspended from the stands.
