Depor denounces that Fuenlabrada traveled without a doctor

The Fuenlabrada case is complicated by the passing of the hours. Deportivo de la Coruña, his rival in the game he should have played last Monday and was suspended due to positives due to the Madrid team's coronavirus, continues to attack. After filing an appeal last Tuesday before the Competition Committee, requesting the cancellation of the last day and that it be repeated once again by leaving Depor-Fuenlabrada out, and requesting the RFEF the precautionary suspension of the Second Division, he now denounces Before the RFEF, the club from the south of Madrid traveled to A Coruña on Monday without a doctor. That fact was confirmed on Radio Galega Carlos Lariño, a doctor at Deportivo. The Galician entity sent the complaint this Friday as they argue, with the Regulation in hand, that the presence of the doctor in games is mandatory to play.

As it appears in the General Regulations of the RFEF, Fuenlabrada has the obligation to travel with the doctor. This is how it appears in article 104 1 f): “In the case of First, Second and Second B clubs, contract the services of a doctor who, assigned to their staff, will have as specific functions, in addition to those that may be required by the club, to be present and on duty during the course of matches and training, and assume responsibilities regarding anti-doping control. “Sources from Fuenlabrada consulted by this newspaper consider that Deportivo's argument is” mean. “

Carlos Lariño, a doctor at Deportivo, indicated that Fuenlabrada has no doctor at the concentration, something he learned about on Tuesday morning, a day after the match was suspended. “I find out about it from a Depor player, who tells me that the Fuenlabrada doctor stayed in Madrid. I called him, because we have everyone's phones, I asked him why and I told him not to worry, that whatever he needed to tell me, “he said. Lariño considered that the fact that the Fuenlabrada traveled without a doctor in the “normal” expedition is not “, but something” exceptional “.

“Due to data protection that I cannot provide, the other (doctor) had a problem that prevented him from traveling, but I understand that they had to have looked for a substitute. In theory, without a doctor on the bench, according to the regulations, I think that the match cannot be held, the referee could have suspended him, “he said on Radio Galega. However, a Fuenlabrada rival after the confinement traveled to Fernando Torres without doctor due to force majeure and the Fuenlabrada doctor attended them without problems and the game was played normally.

Lariño is helping the Fuenlabrada players who are confined to a hotel in A Coruña due to coronavirus. And he talks “every day” with the Fuenlabrada players Oriol Riera and José Rodríguez, who played for Deportivo and who he tries to provide “psychological support” to the situation they are in, since they are “locked up in a hotel and fearfully”. Twelve are the Fuenlabrada players who are in A Coruña with COVID-19, one of whom has been transferred this Friday to the Quirón hospital, where he has been admitted for observation. Lariño recalled that the LaLiga protocol indicates that for a player to resume the competition they have to spend a minimum of ten days since, after seven days of the positive, they undergo a PCR test and, if this test is negative, a the three days are repeated and, in case of a new negative, the patient would be discharged.

The Depor, that the results of the last day of the Second sent him to Second B, has accelerated in the last hours his steps to defend himself from what he considers an injustice against his interests and the absence of the doctor in A Coruña is another nail to the that are caught in the Galician club.
