Bundesliga handball players from TuS Metzingen discovered two hidden cameras in their changing room earlier this week. After the club had informed the police, a person close to the team was identified who is now under strong suspicion. The Metzinger announced this on Thursday. The cooperation with this person was immediately terminated.
“This disgusting act – also by a direct person of trust – is just shocking and has affected us all very much,” said manager Ferenc Rott. He was “impressed” by the solidarity of the players and their joint decision to play the game against SG BBM Bietigheim. TuS lost this on Wednesday at 20:32 (13:20).
Strong cohesion
“We won’t let something like that get us down – and the fact that the team wants to play handball again immediately is a very strong signal,” Rott continued. “During this difficult time, we received a lot of support from the police, the association and other teams. That helps, of course, and we thank you for that.”
The Handball Bundesliga Women (HBF) reacted “shocked” and assured TuS “full support”. “We condemn this reprehensible act in the strongest terms,” it said in a statement on Thursday. “Such a criminal act contradicts all the values that we represent as HBF together with our clubs.”
