“What can I comment on? How surprising is it that Russian judges began to be tested with a lie detector? I do not know. Maybe these are some new trends, "Semin told RT.
In the match "Spartak" - "Sochi" two controversial penalties were assigned to the gates of the Muscovites, the decisive of which, in the 88th minute of the meeting, was later officially recognized by the RFU as erroneous. After that, the main referee of the match, Vasily Kazartsev, successfully passed a polygraph test, but at the same time he was still suspended from work for an indefinite period.
Eskov also had to pass a lie detector test. On August 28, the media reported that Eskov had failed the check.
Earlier, Alexander Kerzhakov expressed the opinion that if Eskov's guilt is proven, then he should be disqualified.
