Veselin Jevrosimovic: Get out of the Serbian athletics, everybody who participated in the scam!
The first man of Serbian athletics is bitter and angry over the scandal which occurred in Sremska Mitrovica
President of the Athletics Federation of Serbia Veselin Jevrosimovic reacted sharply after the scandal that took place at the meeting in Sremska Mitrovica.
Namely, a shot of the spear throw caused suspicion that Vedran Samac didn't break the national record, but that the judges performed a one of a kind scam.
- It was obvious that there were irregularities. The Athletic Federation received this video first and we immediately released it into media. We formed a commision and according to AFS rules, the referees were immediately suspended. They will hardly ever have the opportunity to be on any competition - Jevrosimovic told Tanjug and added:
- We are waiting for the statements of all actors and we will then make a decision about the record and whether it will be annulled. This is also a message to everybody that we will not tolerate this kind of behavior and I can say that whoever participated in a potential scam to GET OUT OF ATHLETICS.
There is no room for cheating in the queen of sports. And that should be explained loudly.
- We will make it very clear that our sport is not a place where these things will happen. Whoever thinks differently, the message is clear - Get out of Athletics - the first man of Serbian athletics Veselin Jevrosimovic stressed once again.
