The former president of Lokomotiv, Olga Smorodskaya, welcomed the decision of the RFU ethics committee to remove agent Polina Lelchuk from football activities, noting that she wanted to gain fame by provoking ex-player of the Russian national team Alexander Samedov.
Lelchuk was disqualified and fined 50 thousand rubles. In April, she accused Samedov, who served as a youth football selector at Lokomotiv, of unacceptable behavior, the former football player denied the allegations.
– Was Lelchuk suspended from football for six months? Wonderful! Nobody knew anything about her. And, in my opinion, she is not an agent!
Thanks to the provocation against Alexander Samedov, she gained fame. Such dishonest methods must be resisted. I think that a fine of 50 thousand rubles is too little. In this case, it is quite obvious that Lelchuk was slandering Samedov.
Was it worth it to sue Lelchuk? You know, getting dirty about her is more expensive for yourself. She is not worthy of fighting her in court, Smorodskaya told Match TV.
