Unfortunate adventure last night for a footballer from Lecce after the Christmas dinner for the exchange of wishes in an establishment in Piazza Mazzini: a party with the families of the players and the managers of the giallorosso club which ended with a fine and the withdrawal of the driving license of the 24-year-old French defender Andy Joseph Pelmard. At the end of the dinner, in fact, the player got behind the wheel of his car (on board there were also other teammates who got out of the vehicle right after) driving in the opposite direction via Trinchese, right in the center of Lecce.
Pelmard and the wrong-way car, the incident
The march in the wrong direction continued until the defender was arrested by police patrols. On site, a crowd formed: other Lecce players arrived, as well as sports director Stefano Trinchera and president Saverio Sticchi Damiani. Pelmard was then taken to the police station by the officers and subjected to a breathalyzer test which came back positive. For the player, a fine and a suspended license. And it is not excluded that a disciplinary sanction could also be imposed by the Giallorosso club.
LESSON NOTES
The Union Sportive Lecce, in light of the facts that occurred last night, strongly condemns the behavior of its player Andy Pelmard, as it does not comply with the guidelines dictated by the club. US Lecce, while waiting to carry out the appropriate investigations into what happened, has decided to immediately exclude the player from the first team squad and will also evaluate the disciplinary relevance of the behaviors, reserving the right to take appropriate and additional measures which will be communicated subsequently.
THE RECONSTITUTION
In another note, US Lecce reconstructs the facts and communicates that “last night, at 11:15 p.m., the player Andy Pelmard, while driving his vehicle, and after having seriously violated certain requirements of the Highway Code, with overtaking speed limits and access to pedestrian zones, was first arrested then taken to the local police station for usual checks. On site, at the time of the arrest, President Saverio Sticchi Damiani and Sports Director Stefano Trinchera immediately arrived and then also went to the police station to obtain a clear and precise reconstruction of what happened. The player, after the necessary checks, was then released by the same police station.” US Lecce also communicates that “no other member was involved in the incident”. “The Pelmard player participated, with the entire team, in the traditional exchange of Christmas wishes organized by the club in which, in addition to the players, the managers, the technical staff and all the families participated. The event, as planned, started at 8:30 p.m. and ended at 10:50 p.m. when all participants left the facility on their own to return home. For what happened, the player was immediately sidelined with the reservation of additional measures.”
