« C’est de l’émotion ! » : Gris Bordeaux prend la défense de Reug Reug et démonte la sanction
Wrestler Gris Bordeaux has reacted to the sanction imposed on Reug Reug after the controversy surrounding his mystical bath with kittens.
As a reminder, despite his victory against Boy Niang 2, Reug Reug was suspended for a total of six months, three of which were a firm sentence and three months suspended. The governing body of wrestling also decided to deduct 10% of the remaining portion of his purse.
For Gris Bordeaux, any disciplinary sanction must be based on clearly established regulations. "A sanction must be linked to the rules and regulations, not to emotion. The articles of the regulations that justify this decision must be identified," he stated.
Gris Bordeaux believes that in the absence of specific provisions governing this type of behavior, the management body should instead raise awareness among stakeholders and consider introducing new rules to prevent such cases in the future.
He also considers the 10% deduction from the wrestler's remaining earnings unacceptable. According to him, a financial penalty can only be applied if it is expressly provided for by the applicable regulations. "The principle is that a disciplinary sanction must be based on a pre-existing rule. If the use of kittens during a mystical bath is not addressed, either directly or indirectly, by any regulation, the sanction appears disproportionate," he argues.
Gris Bordeaux also denounced the practice of withholding a portion of wrestlers' earnings. "Withholding the remaining amount is a practice that must be banned. Professional wrestlers live off their earnings, which are sometimes basic necessities, like a salary," he added.
Finally, he calls on the governing body of wrestling to act impartially and in strict accordance with the rules, without yielding to media pressure or public opinion. According to him, any disciplinary measure must be based on a precise regulatory basis in order to guarantee the fairness and credibility of the national sport.
