At arbitration court
Rapid go to arbitration court over Hedl suspension
Bundesliga club SK Rapid is appealing to the Permanent Court of Arbitration because of the - already served - suspension of goalkeeper Niklas Hedl.
"For us as a club, this is very difficult to bear. Telling a young player that you don't believe his statements and claiming that he's lying - we as a club can't let that stand," said managing director Steffen Hofmann at the weekend. Rapid are now taking action - and are appealing against the ban to the Permanent Court of Arbitration.
Above all, the immediate competitive disadvantage of a ban compared to a fine is a bitter pill to swallow for the Hütteldorfer.
In Hedl's case, the one-match ban was handed down by Senate 1 for an allegedly provocative gesture towards Austria fans and later confirmed by the protest committee in the second instance.
