Borussia Dortmund defender Thomas Meunier explained what fines players receive who return from winter holidays overweight.
The management of the German club introduced sanctions for violators.
– We were weighed at the last training session (before the pause), and this will be done when we return to training. The price is known: a fine of a thousand euros per kilogram, from a certain level we reach a thousand euros… for 100 extra grams.
I can’t name the name, but I know one player who was fined 10 thousand. They told him: “You have one week, and if you lose weight, we will reduce the fine.” And he succeeded! — RMC Sport quotes the 32-year-old Belgian as saying.
Meunier joined Borussia from Paris Saint-Germain in 2020.
