According to Toussaint, Vloet did not properly inform Heracles. “In the weeks and months after the accident, Vloet stated to us as an employer several times that he had not driven faster than the permitted speed limit of 130 kilometers per hour, and had not drunk more than two alcoholic drinks.”
Heracles allowed Vloet to return earlier and the player even made his comeback as a substitute against NEC last weekend. It caused a lot of criticism from supporters and in the media. With the knowledge of today, the club would have decided differently.
“If we as a club had known this essential information earlier, we would of course have decided otherwise, in the interest of both the victim’s family and everyone else involved, and never let Vloet train and play along,” says Toussaint.
