Arrived at the bedside of Vendée Challans Basket (VCB) in mid-December to replace Antoine Michon, Joachim Duthé was suspended from his duties. “Following suspicions of health pass fraud which have been confirmed by Joachim Duthé himself, Jean-Marie Rousseau and the VCB Steering Committee have decided to suspend Joachim Duthé from his duties and lay him off immediately”, indicates the club in its statement on Tuesday.
Very bad news for the VCB, currently stuck at the bottom of the NM1 Group A classification. Especially since the Challandais (11th out of 14, 10 v. – 14 d.) still have a hope of catching the intermediate pool. On the sine qua non of winning the derby against Les Sables-d’Olonne on Friday. For the occasion, it is the assistant Miguel Relet who will provide the coaching.
