Virgil Pinson, FC Botosani suspected of betting on a yellow card

After the game, a 5-2 loss to FC Botosani away to Sepsi, coach Dan Alexa announced that he did not want to continue the game because of some things he noticed in the team.

According to Fanatik, towards the end of the first half, forward Virgil Pinson was informed by teammate Jean Armel Drole that he was going to come on at halftime.

Already in the next stage, Pinson rushed to receive a yellow card for no reason, which aroused the suspicion of the club’s management, which began an internal investigation.

Local investigations revealed that a man had tried to bet 10,000 lei before the game on Pinson’s yellow card, and owner Valeriu Iftime announced that he would report the Disciplinary Commission of the Romanian Football Federation.

“I can tell you that there is a disciplinary investigation into Pinson’s yellow card. Since he himself told us that he consciously accepted this warning, it is only natural that we report. Why do you want to get the card?

We were warned that someone wanted to bet 10,000 lei at a bookmaker in Botosani, and that a much smaller amount was accepted. I asked our president to inform the FRF Integrity Commission.” said Valeriu Iftimefor GSP.
