One certainty: the Senegalese defender of Guingamp Donatien Gomis, 28, had preferred to forfeit Saturday for the Ligue 2 match in Sochaux not to participate in this campaign against homophobia. The jerseys are then to be auctioned for the benefit of the associations Foot Ensemble, PanamBoyz & Girlz United and SOS Homophobie.

He had been summoned to explain himself by the National Ethics Council (CNE) of the French Football Federation (FFF), a body that nevertheless has no disciplinary power, but had received a flood of support in Senegal.
