Girondins players deny allegations of racism

Girondins de Bordeaux players have finally come out of their silence over allegations of racism against Benoit Costil and Laurent Koscielny.

As mentioned by

since the beginning of the week, they published a press release with our colleagues from

They “formally deny the accusations of racism”.

The press release in its entirety:

“Following the various articles published yesterday, the professional group joins forces with the club to formally deny the accusations of racism against the players of the team.

We condemn all forms of racism in football and in society.

We now wish to dedicate ourselves to our mission and regain peace of mind.

A big thank you to all the people who support us.

Be sure that we will fight to save the club and keep it among the elite.

»

This press release was followed by another.

That of the UNFP (National Union of Professional Footballers), entitled "We do not play with racism"!

A much more offensive press release where the UNFP wonders “what fly has stung some Bordeaux supporters, what dark force is pushing them to burn today what they loved yesterday, to accuse the players of all the evils?
