An amazing story happened in Limoges on Saturday night. Heiko Schaffartzik under alcohol influence slept on a couch but not at his house. The incident was confirmed and the club issued a press release with the German player apologizing.
As he said: “What I have done is not good. When we returned from the trip to Antibes I was very affected by the results of the team (ed.note: Limoges was defeated). I made a big mistake. I take full responsibility for my actions. I want to apologize to my teammates, coaches, the club and all the fans. A top player, must be exemplary, which was not my case. I accept in advance the sanctions that the club will take. As a player of Limoges CSP, I must be an example for young people, I was not and I apologize”.
President Frederic Forte aded: “Heiko’s attitude is unacceptable especially given the current situation at the club. Now if I want to be positive, we can also see that everyone is affected by this plight through the club. We can tolerate a mistake made by a player who contributed a lot to the club since his arrival, both on the court and off the court, but not a second one. Contrary to what has been said, I want to clarify that Heiko was in the right building. It was simply the wrong floor, which is already quite comical. ”
