Leaders of the SON Football Academy, including head coach Son Woong-jung, were punished for child abuse and suspended for three to six months.
The Gangwon Special Self-Governing Football Association's Sports Fair Committee recently decided to suspend coach Son and coach A for three months as a follow-up measure following the results of an investigation into the Sports Ethics Center under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Yonhap News reported on the 21st.
The committee judged that "it is a case of accidental verbal violence and other minor cases equivalent thereto."
The committee also suspended senior coach Son Heung-yoon for six months, saying, "The act of assault and injury is accidental and there is a special reason to take into account."
This is the lowest level in the range of disciplinary standards for violent leaders according to the Sports Fair Commission regulations.
Leaders who have been suspended are not allowed to participate in all competitions held by sports associations and related organizations until disciplinary action is completed.
Ryu Jae-yul, a lawyer for the victim, applied for a retrial, saying, "It is difficult to say that the abuse was accidental because it has been repeated several times."
Three people, including head coach Sohn, were also found to have recently filed for a retrial in defiance of the disciplinary action.
If a person subject to disciplinary action applies for a retrial, the effect of the disciplinary action will be suspended until the deliberation is completed, but human rights violations such as violent acts will remain effective even if they apply for a retrial, so coach Sohn and others cannot keep the stadium bench.
Earlier in February, the Sports Ethics Center judged that the investigation into the abuse of youth players at the SON Football Academy found that violence against three leaders, including head coach Son and head coach Son Heung-yoon, was recognized.
In accordance with the regulations, he asked the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism to "request the Korean Sports Council to discipline all respondents." 토토사이트
Director Sohn and others received a summary order of 3 million won each and 40 hours of child abuse treatment programs from the Chuncheon District Court in October last year on charges of physically or emotionally abusing the victim (violation of the Child Welfare Act).
According to the victim's child, on March 9 last year, while training in Okinawa, head coach Son Heung-yoon hit his thigh with a corner kick rod, which required two weeks of treatment.
