DFB regulations require at least six weeks, with exceptions
“For attacks against opponents or other people present in the game, prohibition from six weeks to six months”It says in the legal and procedural regulations of the DFB. The minimum of six weeks can only be reduced to three weeks if against Thuram “An act contrary to sport was committed immediately before the offense” or a “lighter case of assault” Present. If both are true, the minimum would drop to two weeks.
Television footage from Saturday’s (December 19, 2020) match between Gladbach and Hoffenheim suggests at first glance that the two mitigating reasons probably don’t apply. However, Posch also saw the yellow card. Clarifying the exact circumstances is now the task of the DFB sports jurisdiction.
The road to suspension: game report, control committee, sports field
As after each match, referee Willenborg will have completed a match report including the red card, this document is also available to the DFB control committee. The latter can then initiate investigations as a kind of “prosecutor’s office” and file a criminal complaint before the sports field. If the control committee wants to punish Thuram, this charge must be presented at the DFB sports court on Monday at 2 pm
Before that, the control committee will ask Borussia Mönchengladbach and Marcus Thuram if they agree to the requested penalty. If that is the case, the sports court approves the sanction in a single judge procedure and the sentence becomes final.
If Gladbach’s side disagrees, the judge will announce a verdict at 10 a.m. Tuesday. You are not allowed to pronounce a sanction greater than that requested by the control committee. The Gladbach company could then appeal against this ruling, but so could the control committee. Then there is an oral hearing before the sports field.
Kabak and Ascacibar recently sanctioned for spitting
Recently there were two similar cases in the Bundesliga. Schalke’s Ozan Kabak beat Werder Bremen in late September “he spat in the direction of his opponent Ludwig Augustinsson”announced the DFB sports court. He imposed a four-week ban on Schalke and spoke of a “attempted assault”, which may have been the reason for the four-week ban.
