UEFA statement on the Balogun case 关於Balogun事件的UEFA声明 https://reurl.cc/MW1zkK Yesterday’s decision to suspend for a probationary period of a year the impleme ntation of the one-match automatic suspension followin the red card issued to t he player Folarin Balogun crossed a red line. 昨天针对球员Folarin Balogun所领红牌後应自动停赛一场的处分，却决定暂缓执行，并设 下一年的缓刑期，这项决定已经越过了不可接受的红线 Football, like any other sports, relies on rules, which are the basis for fair, honest and transparent competition. Sometimes rules are open to interpretation. In this case not. A minimum automatic suspension of one match following a red ca rd is not a discretionary option and does not require the decision of a competen t body to be enacted. It is a principle embedded in regulations, which cannot be made subject to exceptions, let alone in the middle of a tournament where sever al other players have been in the same situation and regularly served their susp ension. 足球和所有运动一样，都建立在规则之上，而规则正是公平、诚信与透明竞争的基础，有些 规则或许存在解释空间，但这次并非如此，球员被红牌罚下後，至少自动停赛一场并非可自 行裁量的选项，也不需要任何主管机关另行决议才能生效，这是一项明文写入规章的基本原 则，不应有任何例外，更不应在赛事进行期间破例，尤其是在已有多名球员遭遇相同情况并 依规定完成停赛的情况下 When the certainty of rules is no longer guaranteed by its guardians, the integr ity of the game is at stake and the credibility of a competition is undermined. Equally, such decision creates a precedent in the ongoing tournament, where simi lar situations will now require an equal treatment, to the detriment of the comp etition. 当规则的确定性无法再由其守护者加以保障时，比赛的公正性便受到威胁，赛事的公信力也 将遭到削弱，同样地这项决定也为正在进行的赛事开创了先例，未来所有类似情况都必须受 到相同待遇，这将对整体赛事造成负面影响 Football is the most loved sport in the world because it is a beautiful game and is trusted because it is played everywhere with the same laws. A tournament is never a pure standalone and, if the tournament in question is the World Cup, it has the power to drive positive or negative consequences on the game as a whole. 足球之所以成为全球最受喜爱的运动，是因为它本身充满魅力；之所以受到信任，是因为无 论在世界任何地方，大家都遵循相同的规则，任何一项赛事都不是孤立存在的，尤其当这项 赛事是世界杯时，它的一举一动都可能对整个足球运动带来正面或负面的深远影响 We express our disbelief at such an unprecedented, incomprehensible and unjustif iable decision. 我们对这项史无前例、令人难以理解且毫无正当理由的决定，表达强烈的震惊与无法置信 --
