TV4 deliberately chose not to show images that still received a lot of attention this weekend.
“Our editor made the assessment that the images were too strong to show. There was no intention of obscuring anything. The clip was sent directly to the Swedish jogging sport and to the national judge on the track to inform them of the incident. Animal welfare is a priority. Other news issues like Horrible Images, but we are self-critical and we should still have shown the event directly and analyzed, discussed and focused on the live broadcast. Today (Sunday) on TV4 topped our sports broadcasts with the photos and news. ” Rickard Segeborn, program manager for the sport on TV4 and C More, writes in a text message to Expressen.
Risky punishment
Coach Alessandro Gocciadoro has condemned the incident, kicking the apprentice who performed the whips, but is at risk of being punished by the Swedish travsport.
You’ve already seen the consequences of the apprentice’s behavior when the owners of the star horse Vivid Wise As, who is invited to the Elite race on May 31, broke up with him and transferred him to Björn Goop.
“There is no excuse”
The apprentice himself has expressed his regret through the Facebook group Cavalli & Corse, something that Sulkysport was the first to report on.
“I apologize to the owner Biasuzzi, to Alessandro who gave me the opportunity to work for him, to all my colleagues, to all the people (Italian and foreign) who have witnessed a horrible scenario and to the mare […]”writes the apprentice.
“Although there is no excuse, I apologize for what I did. I am the first to realize my mistake.”
