Trauma to the larynx, threats of sport, traumatic amnesia... His lawyer assures him, the Ruthenian Lucas Buades, assaulted Saturday night by a Bordeaux supporter, while he was celebrating the goal he had just scored, "is not well".
Guest of the After Foot on RMC Sports this Monday evening, Me Karine Shebado gave news of the RAF striker. "He's not doing very well," she said. . . For several reasons. First, because he was the victim of a double offence, when he had only scored a goal and celebrated it, she explained. (...) And then because we have after, reactions, an outpouring of hatred, a lot of threats."
According to the lawyer, since Saturday, Lucas Buades receives "death threats, threats of violence against him and his entourage, but also the questioning of what he has experienced". "He had a blow to the larynx, so a laryngeal trauma that caused him to fall to the ground. He fell on his left temple and there was traumatic amnesia," she said.
"The doctors who saw him considered it serious enough that he did not return to the game. And then the situation of my client is evolving, finally insisted Me Karine Shebado. We see everywhere that he would only have one day of ITT. We will know that on the day of judgment because this situation is evolving. And above all, it was not him who decided to stop the match. There was a whole protocol that was respected and it is the referee who decides to stop the match definitively."
"We try to make the images say another reality"
The defense of the player wanted to return more precisely on the course of events, especially around the support of the scorer of the day. "A first doctor saw him, then a second, and they were the ones who were with him for hours to see what the situation was, how he was doing. Maybe that's where the trouble came from, thinking that at first we might take him to the hospital, then we finally decided not to move him at that time, so that he could remain under observation and see the evolution of his condition."
"My client was hit, that's obvious. We are now trying to make the images say another reality. (...) The match report speaks of an aggression of a player, of a security that is threatened. "
The LFP's decision expected on June 12
The lawyer confirmed that a complaint, from the player and his club, had been initiated. "The perpetrator has been summoned to correctional for the end of November, there will be a trial," she said. "I would have liked the club to have received a phone call to my client. To perhaps apologize, to know how he is, "she finally added, considering that such an act would have been "fair play".
As for the sporting aspect, the disciplinary committee of the Professional Football League (LFP) has decided to put the file of the fate of this match. "In view of the seriousness of the facts" and, "pending the decision, the result of the match is not counted in the ranking," said the LFP in a statement on Monday. The decision will be rendered on June 12 at 13 p.m.
