The disciplinary committee of the Professional Football League (LFP) will try to shed light on the incident which took place Friday during the OM-AJ Auxerre match (1-3). The body announced on Wednesday that it had opened an investigation after the throwing of a projectile targeting DAZN journalist Ambre Godillon during this Ligue 1 match.
“In view of the incident that occurred during the Olympique de Marseille – AJ Auxerre match, the LFP Disciplinary Commission decides to put the case under investigation,” indicated the League, which then clarified that the investigation related to the projectile received by the journalist.

An “intolerable and unworthy act” according to DAZN
The disciplinary committee will make its decision on November 27, specifies the LFP. Shortly before half-time at the Vélodrome, Ambre Godillon, former PSG TV presenter, was the victim of a projectile which hit her under the eye. The speaker of the Marseille enclosure then asked the public to stop throwing objects.
OM apologized to the journalist as well as to DAZN, citing an accident and not a deliberate act, after viewing the images. “DAZN strongly condemns this intolerable and unworthy act,” the channel broadcasting Ligue 1 reacted, announcing that it “will take all necessary measures, including legal measures, to guarantee the safety of its teams.”
“A throw is not accidental”
RMC Sport published a video where we see an object which could be an electronic cigarette falling from the stand, after having visibly bounced on a tarpaulin. Ambre Godillon was very upset after this episode, especially since she was then the victim of “cyberharassment”.

“A throw is not accidental,” she pointed out. I was between the two sidelines and the jet came between these two sidelines. And it wasn't by the Holy Spirit that he got there. The tarpaulin, I thank it for being there to slow down this object. But in any “accidental” case, I would like us to measure our words, and to know that the person who must apologize in the story is not me.”
