Volleyball player Alexei Spiridonov is disqualified for two matches of the national team

Zenita and one of the leaders of the Russian national volleyball team, Alexei Spiridonov, was disqualified for two matches of the national team for his behavior during the game with Germany at the World Cup.

Recall that during this meeting, held in Poland, the volleyball player, after a successful bloc, began to water the stands of the imaginary machine gun.

“On Monday, the Disciplinary Committee of the International Volleyball Federation announced a two -match disqualification of Alexei Spiridonov for his behavior during the game of the World Cup with Germany,” RIA Novosti Yaremenko quoted. “After one episode, the volleyball player showed the gesture towards the rostrum, which was regarded as disrespect for fans.”

The leadership of the All -Russian Volleyball Federation (VFV) will not apply for the decision of the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) on a two -match disqualification of Spiridonov. The player at the end of May will miss two starting matches of the intercontinental round of the World League - 2015 with the Poland team.

“Fivb worked very well this issue, listened to the opinion of our federation and Alexei himself on this incident,” Yaremenko noted in an interview with TASS. “The trial lasted quite a long time. It should be understood that the disqualification could be more severe. Given the work that I did VFV, I consider the removal of Spiridonov for two games by minimal punishment.”

For Spiridonov, this is not the first conflict case during the game in the Russian national team. After the final of the World League - 2013, a volleyball player demonstrated an indecent gesture addressed to the Branard Rosend Brazilian trainer. He also repeatedly conflict with the players of the opponent on the site during the game.

The European champion is also known for its provocative behavior outside the site. For example, after the victory at the Continent championship, the team of the national team took a picture with the trophy, which the Russian team has for the first time since 1991, in naked form .
