We regret it, we had questions to ask him», begins Michel Savin during this Wednesday’s press conference. The president of the commission Laurent Lafon would have liked to question him, he who is at the heart of conflicts of interest between the league and the broadcaster. “We take note of his decision not to be interviewed.
