Hertha captain Levan Kobiashvili was punished not to play football for seven and a half months!
The sports court of the German Football Association announced a record penalty after its meeting on Monday. So far in the history of Bundesliga player has never punished for so long.
The reason for the punishment is that after the dramatic jump-off to the Bundesliga against Fortuna Dusseldorf, Kobiashvili hit the referee Wolfgang Stark. Player himself admits his act, but AFA wanted punishment of one year.
"In determining the penalty for Levan Kobiashvili was considered his confession, which can lead to criminal proceedings and possible civil action. In addition, through the punishment the player will have a significant loss of revenue, "explained the chairman of the Sports court Hans Lorenz.
"I will accept the decision, to be able to play football again. My family and I suffered a lot lately, so I'm glad that the procedure ended, "said Kobiashvili.
Other players of Hertha - Thomas Kraft and Andre Mijatovic were punished respectively 4 and 3 games for insulting the referee. Punishment of Christian Leal, who was spat on the player of Fortuna Asami Lukimiya will be decided later this week.
