Monaco won their case. For the moment… The Legal Commission of Discipline and Regulations of the LNB (CJDR) had, on April 9, withdrawn from the ASM the benefit of its recent victory over Strasbourg in the championship. The FFBB Appeals Chamber, meeting on Thursday April 18, decided… to annul the decision. “At the same time, the Appeals Chamber of the FFBB refers the case to this same commission which will meet as soon as possible. As a result and to this day, Monaco recovers a victory,” we explain.

Remember that the Roca Team was initially sanctioned due to the presence of coach Sasa Obradovic and winger Jaron Blossomgame during this success against Sig on March 24. And this since they had been disqualified the previous week during the defeat against… Strasbourg, in the Coupe de France. Note that the FFBB Appeals Chamber did not judge the case on the merits but on the form, citing “a formal defect”. In the meantime, the French champions have a record of 27 wins and four defeats, thus validating their first place, while Strasbourg (14 wins-15 losses) moves from seventh to eighth place.
