The Stuttgart Open apologized to Kaygos and launched an investigation. What are the expected results

In yesterday's article, we talked about the incident of suspected "racial discrimination" by fans in the Stuttgart Open on Saturday. Now, this incident has made new progress, and the direction of the event Kyegos expressed apologies and decided to investigate the incident.

This incident occurred in the semi -final of Kegos against Murrey. The simple pass was: Kyegos smashed the racket after the first set, and was fined 1 point by the referee due to the accumulation of two warnings at the beginning of the second set. In the first game of the second set, Kiegos argued with the fans at the last time. He was warned for the third time by the referee and was punished for a game according to the rules. In this way, Kiegos was punished by 1 point and 1 penalty at the beginning of the second set.

Subsequently, Kiegos continued to complain to the referee, then sat on the chair to refuse to continue the game, and he did not persuade him to continue the game until the game director entered the field. In the end, Kyegos lost the second set at 2-6, and lost to Murray with a score of 0-2.

Shortly after losing to Murray, Kiegos posted on his personal social media that he complained to the referee on the second set because the fans at the scene insult him, and the content of abuse belonged to "racial discrimination". Regarding what the content of abuse is, can it be identified as "racial discrimination" and the response of Kyegos, for details, see "When Kayogos is begging for" racial discrimination ", why isn't it worthy of sympathy? "

As mentioned in this article, the progress of the incident was that the Stugart Open's competition was in the direction of Kyegos publicly apologized and announced an investigation into the matter.

"We advocate creating a tolerant environment for all players, staff and fans, and cannot tolerate any form of discrimination. This attitude should be observed by all responsible participants. For us, these basic values, fairness, fairness, and fairness, fairness, and fairness, fairness, and fairness, fairness, and fairness, fairness, and fairness, and fairness, fairness, and fairness, fairness, and fairness, fairness, and fairness, and fairness, and fairness, fairness, fairness, and fairness of these basic values. Tolerance is as important as the values ​​of the team spirit. Therefore, we do not accept the discrimination of the audience. We regret it to Nick Caygos and his team and ensure that any form of discrimination is unacceptable. The incident is currently investigating Middle. "The Stuttgart Open wrote in the statement.

So how will this incident be investigated and what will be dealt with after the investigation? Let's briefly analyze it.

The first thing to do is to collect the recording and video materials of the time, and try to restore the entire process at the time. There are two focus on the survey: one, find out the fans suspected of insulting Kyegos, and then confirm their identity; second, confirm the whole process and abuse of the insults based on the recording and video materials and the testimony of the surrounding personnel.

Assuming that the event party found the insultant, it obtained sufficient evidence to confirm that Kyegos said that it was wrong, and the fans also admitted to this. So what will the event party deal with it?

The possible ways to deal with the event party include: first, the fans are included in the blacklist and refused to sell the follow -up tickets to it; the second is to ask the fans to apologize to Kegos and the event.

So, can the event party be fined or applied for a police officer to investigate and deal with it?

I think it is difficult. Legally, the fans can buy tickets to enter the game and can sign a contract with the event party. Fans should abide by the rules and etiquette formulated by the competition formula. However, these rules and etiquette are not too strong. Once fans make violations of the rules and etiquette of the game, most of them are driven away from the field. Because there are few fines such as fines (more precisely as compensation or compensation) in the rules of the game, the event party generally does not have the right to submit money compensation or compensation requirements for fans.

Similar examples happened in the competition of Memphills and Bredini this year. Some fans on the stands scolded "Go to your mother" swear words several times. "If you don't want to watch the game, please leave." Later, the security officer of the event took the fans away from the scene, but during the process of bringing the fans and security personnel, there was a physical conflict. Later, the Victoria police reported the police in the direction of the event, and the police involved in the investigation after arriving, but soon released the fans. This incident did not report on the event.

Therefore, the event party has the right to drive the fans who do not follow the rules of watching the game, but only when the conflict between the two parties is upgraded to physical conflicts, the police can intervene.

Based on the above analysis, even if the event party found the fans suspected of insulting Kyegos, mastered sufficient evidence and the fans acknowledged that the most likely result was that the fan apologized publicly. Of course, the competitors and Kiegos can also claim the abusive behavior of the fans in accordance with German law. Considering that the incident is not serious and the litigation procedures are complicated, the possibility of eventually taking the litigation process is not much.

Back to this game itself, Kiegos' verbal disputes with the audience affected the game and made a racket. The event party and ATP had the right to impose fines and even banned the game. This is because Kyegos is a member of the ATP Association, and ATP has the right to deal with him in accordance with relevant rules.

Therefore, the audience scolding players often does not cause serious consequences, and players scold the audience likely to be fined or forbidden. In such a comparison, players are indeed weak and even considered to have been treated with unfair treatment. This may be why Kiegos repeatedly complained.
