JO - Tennis (Hommes) - Arnaud Di Pasquale annonce l'exclusion de Benoît Paire
Arnaud di Pasquale, director of the FFT (Fédération Française de Tennis) announced yesterday evening (CET) that Benoit Paire was no longer, and will never again be, affiliated to the French Tennis Federation. "He will compete in ATP events under the French flag because of his passport. If he wants to find another flag, he is free to do so. He will never be part of any events involving the FFT directly".
Live on France Télévisions after Paire's loss to Fognini, di Pasquale said: "I announce the exclusion of Benoit Paire after several warnings given by us. He did not respect he rules set by FFT on site. It is inacceptable. He lacked respect to his teammates and to the staff. There are rules to be respected when you are part of the French team".
Paire had received two warnings from di Pasquale for not respecting the rules set by the Federation for the life in community in Rio. "We (the Federation) gave him a lot. We hardly saw him in Rio, you cannot just disrespect your team like that without punishment to follow. I asked him to pack and leave. He shouldn't have come if he is not able to stick to the rules the Federation had set before his arrival".
Paire reacted a few hours ago: "I am happy to leave Rio. I have another view on what happened in Rio. I keep my opinion for me, but I am very happy to go to Cincinnati. The federation is a non-existent entity, so all this is no big deal. I am just happy that the one I needed to support me was here [Shy'm, his girlfriend], that was the most important for me. Whether the Federation and the other players are here or not, I don't care."
