Tony Parker’s club hoped to repeat the match on the floor of Elan Chalon. But he throws in the towel with great bitterness.
“Surprise and astonishment”… “This decision questions the usefulness of being able to lodge a complaint”… “…and with all due respect to the supporters of “protected ASVEL”.
Open bitterness in a pathetic declaration… It’s a bit much the impression left after the short press release (read below) published by ASVEL after the decision of the Appeals Chamber to rule in favor of Elan Chalon.
The pill has difficulty getting through to the capital of Gaul. Beyond the turns and contours taken by ASVEL, no one has forgotten that if ASVEL lost at the Coliseum, it was after three overtimes. Very clearly the decision of the Appeals Chamber of the French Basketball Federation gives meaning to morality and what sportsmanship should be in all circumstances. Because if ASVEL had lost at the Coliseum, it was quite simply because it had not been good. Finally, the decision of the appeals chamber rehabilitates the arbitral trio who were not as responsible for the situation, as may have been said or written.

The ASVEL press release
LDLC ASVEL learned with surprise and astonishment of the decision of the Chamber of Appeal of the French Basketball Federation, granting Elan Chalon’s case, and thus overturning that taken by the Federal High-Level Commission of Basketball Officials. 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.
