Entities enter into agreement and sign deadline to finalize months-long case that resulted in suspension of volleyball funding
an agreement between Brazilian Volleyball Confederation AND Brazilian Olympic Committee reduced the sentences of all those involved in the case wallace. With this, the suspension of the body that manages the national volleyball team has become a sanction, while the five-year disqualification inflicted on the athlete by the cruise transformed into 90 days. The information is from the newspaper ‘O Globo’.
Paulo Wanderley (COB president), Walter Pitombo (CBV president), Wallace and the COB Ethics Committee and the Advocacy General of the Union (AGU) signed the agreement and stated they will no longer question the decision in any judicial instance.
The COB stated in the agreement that it did not recognize the last men’s Superliga final, won by Cruzeiro, which featured Wallace in action. The player will serve the ban during the holidays.
SHOT IN LULA
Olympic medalist’s punishment with Brazil’s volleyball team came after Wallace suggested a ‘smack in the face’ to president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) posted on social media in January this year.
Wallace only entered the court on April 30 and was Superliga champion for Cruzeiro, thanks to an injunction granted by the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD). After the match, he said he was wrong to ask his followers who would shoot Lula and thanked the people who supported him. “I made a mistake off the court, which I apologized for, I regretted it. I don’t want any athlete to go through that,” he said.
In January Sada Cruzeiro regretted Wallace’s attitude and announced his removal from the team indefinitely, underlining the need for prudence in demonstrations on social media due to the “delicate” moment in the country. The athlete is an outspoken supporter of former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL), defeated at the polls by the PT in the 2022 elections, and an enthusiast of expanding the population’s access to guns.
