Dennis Erdmann: Former 1860 professional sentenced to suspension and fine - court sees allegations confirmed
On August 25, the defender is said to have racially defamed several of his opponents in a third division game against his former club 1. FC Magdeburg.
The Saarbrücken resident continues to vehemently deny the allegations.
"For us, the allegations have been confirmed in the evidence," stated Stephan Oberholz, the deputy chairman of the sports court.
"As a result of the taking of evidence, the sports court is convinced that the player made the following remarks in the direction of the Magdeburg professional Amara Condé: He should paddle home with his parents," continued Oberholz.
Erdmann is said to have insulted his opponent at least once with the N-word.
"The fact that the referee or other Saarbrücken players did not notice the statements made by player Erdmann does not mean that they did not fall," explained Oberholz.
"There is no evidence of deliberate false testimony by all Magdeburg witnesses and a plot against Dennis Erdmann," it said.
Dennis Erdmann: juicy fine and suspension for Saarbrücken professional - club wants to appeal
Now the sports court of the German Football Association * (DFB) decided to follow the request of the control committee.
After oral hearings in Frankfurt / Main, the court saw it as proven that Erdmann was expressing himself racist.
As a result, Erdmann was banned from the DFB for eight weeks and will no longer participate in the game for the time being.
He was also fined 3,000 euros.
According to Oberholz, the German Football Association “basically does not tolerate any form of racism or discrimination in its seats and shows a clear edge here.
Therefore a severe punishment had to be pronounced ”.
However, a spokesman for 1. FC Saarbrücken announced that he would appeal the judgment, as the
Saarbrücker Zeitung
writes.
Thus the litigation could continue.
The club also wants to lift the ban before the DFB Federal Court until a corresponding hearing.
