Eurosport denies Becker rumors: "Will not be part of the French Open coverage"
Apparently, Becker should accompany the upcoming French Open (May 22nd to June 5th) with his comments and analyses.
What is the truth of these insane assumptions?
Nothing at all!
A broadcaster spokesman explained to
IPPEN.MEDIA
: “Boris Becker will not be part of the Eurosport French Open coverage.
We will announce our team of experts for the French Open soon.”
The crazy prison commentary rumors originally came from Switzerland.
Blick
had recently reported that the broadcaster was planning the "big coup"
.
"The management of Eurosport is currently clarifying with Becker's lawyers whether it is possible to set up a home studio for Boris in prison," the article says.
After the Eurosport statement, however, it should be clear that Becker's voice will not be heard on TV again anytime soon - which, according to many fans, is a great pity.
Because Becker and commentator Matthias Stach are considered one of the best sports duos in the whole country.
