Cádiz requested this Wednesday the temporary suspension of the LaLiga Santander competition while its appeal for the ‘Elche case’ is not resolved, the Andalusian club announced in a statement signed by its president, Manuel Vizcaíno.
Cádiz has filed an appeal before the Administrative Court of Sport (TAD) to request the challenge of the match of day 17 played against Elche (1-1), last January at the Nuevo Mirandilla, and wants it to be partially repeated at consider the arbitration action “negligent”, “specifically the referees of the VOR Room”, who conceded their goal to the Elche team offside in the 81st minute, the work of Ezequiel Ponce.
For this reason, after receiving a negative resolution from the Appeals Committee, he now claims the temporary suspension of the tournament as a precautionary measure until the resolution of the file, after having declared the disciplinary bodies of the RFEF “incompetent” over the request to challenge the match. In his letter, the Cadista president insisted that the error is “manifest” and “serious” and that “potentially irreparable damage” for his team is derived from it.
Cádiz has argued before the TAD that “the adoption of the proposed precautionary measure is absolutely necessary to safeguard the integrity of the competition and guarantee the fairness and equality of the participating clubs, avoiding unwanted adulteration of said competition, the result of a technical error arbitration, manifest, serious and negligent, which at this time is still repairable and reversible”.
The legal services of the Cádiz club refer in their appeal to decisions taken in the past by UEFA and FIFA, respectively, for the partial repetition of international matches Norway-England and Uzbekistan-Bahrain, “in order to avoid damages and damages that erroneously adopted arbitration decisions would cause to the teams involved”.
With its request for temporary suspension of the First Division competition “until the effective resolution of the file” by the competent bodies, Cádiz intends to prevent the “damage from becoming absolutely irreparable,” the statement said.
The yellow club, which is sixteenth in the table with 25 points, two from the relegation zone, considers that the TAD “should soon issue a favorable resolution” to their “interests”, in line with the “firm conviction” they have that they are “assisted by reason and the Law”. “Any decision contrary to the above would seriously affect the integrity and the development of the sports competition in question,” concludes Cádiz in its letter.
