The goalkeeper of the Marseilles "Olympic" Fabyen Bartez received a three -month disqualification for a spit in a Moroccan judge during a friendly match in Casablanca.
The match that took place in February and in which the Olympic was opposed by the local team was interrupted after the 33-year-old bartes spat on Abdullah Achiri. This happened in the 80th minute of the meeting, which was already comradely only by name, the Air Force notes.
“He did not spit in his face, but he certainly spat on the arbitrator,” said Jean Matsell, the head of the disciplinary committee of the French football federation. The punishment period of the bartesis will be automatically doubled if the goalkeeper makes any other misconduct.
Potentially, the French goalkeeper was threatened by disqualification for a year, which, most likely, would force him to complete his sports career ahead of schedule. He recently stated that he intends to part with big football after the World Cup in Germany in 2006.
Bartez spent 73 matches for the French national team, debuting in 1994 in a duel with Australia. He set a record, protecting the colors of the French national team longer than any of the goalkeepers. Together with the national team of his country, he won the 1998 World Cup and the European Championship 2000, and at the club level in 1993 he won the Champions League in the Olympic from Marseille.
