ASVEL says it is “surprised” by the decision of the FFBB Appeals Chamber giving victory to Élan Chalon

There will be no new episodes around the 5th day match between Élan Chalon and ASVEL. While the FFBB Appeals Chamber overturned the decision of the Federal High-Level Officials Commission to replay the match against ASVEL, the Rhone club indicates in a press release that it takes note of the decision.

Which does not prevent Villeurbanne from sharing its « surprise » and its “astonishment” with regard to the decision taken by the Chamber of Appeal of the FFBB. In the press release, the club goes on to say that “this decision questions the usefulness of being able to lodge a complaint, the violation of the regulations of our sport therefore not being judged as an admissible reason…”

The full ASVEL press release:

“LDLC ASVEL learned with surprise and astonishment of the decision of the Appeal Chamber of the French Basketball Federation, granting Elan Chalon its case, and thus overturning that taken by the Federal High-Level Officials Commission to replay the match.
This decision questions the usefulness of being able to lodge a complaint, the violation of the regulations of our sport therefore not being judged as an admissible reason… However, and with all due respect to the supporters of “protected ASVEL”, our club has decided to take note of this decision and concentrate on the rest of his season. »
