After the VAR, in Russia they have taken another step with respect to arbitration errors: the use of the lie detector to demonstrate the honesty of the referees. Thus, on the second day of the Russian League. Vasily Kazartsev, the referee who directed the match between Spartak Moscow and Sochi on August 9, risks being disqualified, if the dreaded polygraph rules that said referee acted in bad faith by whistling the dubious penalty that gave the tie ( 2-2) to Sochi at the home of Spartak.
This is reported by various media, which indicate that it is not the first time that the polygraph has been used in Russian football: it has already been used to discover Federation employees who had committed irregularities.
