Venice Saunders was arrested for driving 40 km on the freeway, his contract was terminated
In Italy, an unthinkable incident happened after Victor Saunders of Venice was reportedly arrested for driving 40 kilometers on the opposite side of the highway after the argument with Prometheus. The Italian team immediately canceled his contract.
Venice defeated Prometheus yesterday (31/3) in game 17 of the EuroCup (81-57). A few hours later, she counts one player down on her roster after resigning from Victor Saunders’ contract (she had 12 points in the match). And he had every reason to.
According to reports from Italy, after the game against Prometheus, the American left the stadium and drove his car 40 (!) kilometers in the opposite direction of the highway! Fortunately for everyone, we did not mourn the victims, although it is not yet known how the situation came about, except that the police eventually managed to stop the vehicle and, among other things, found that its diploma had expired.
Of course, as soon as the incident became known, Venezia acted immediately and announced the termination of the American’s contract, in one of the strangest cases in the history of European basketball.
