The ex-player of the Russian national football team Vladimir Bystrov, on the air of the Loud program on Match TV, said that the head coach of the Kaliningrad Lokomotiv Andrei Voronkov cannot be called a racist just by one of his statements, since it is not clear who the specialist was talking about at all .
On May 30, the Executive Committee of the All-Russian Volleyball Federation (VVF) decided to disqualify Voronkov for 2 years. On May 12, Voronkov, during a timeout in the fifth match of the final series of the Russian Championship with Uralochka-NTMK, gave instructions to his players, while he pulled Valery Zaitseva aside and said: “Why are you catching this monkey again?” The phrase was on the air “Match TV”. Cuban Ailama Sese Montalvo played for Uralochka, who later left the club.
– I adhere to the point of view that it is impossible to call a person a racist only by one of his statements. About whom he spoke during the match is a question. Until they have been officially punished, it’s more expensive to make excuses and say something in the media, ”Bystrov said on the air of Match TV.
Voronkov has no ban on the profession. The punishment involves his non-participation in all events under the auspices of the VFV.
