Trabzonspor President Defends Himself After Disciplinary Referral Over Betting Account

Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Dogan has acknowledged previously holding a betting account but said it was closed before the current investigation.

Dogan defended his position following his referral to a disciplinary committee, stressing that the account was no longer active when the inquiry began.

He also defended officials at his club, denying any intention to manipulate competitions or undermine their integrity.

His response drew a distinction between his admission that he once held an account and any suggestion of an intent to interfere with sporting competition. The information provided did not specify the outcome of the disciplinary referral.
