Unlikely situation in the Hamburg club. Yesterday, the 30-year-old Frenchman, Jean-Luc Dompé, was heavily sanctioned by the German club. Already warned at the end of January for driving while drunk, the player was again summoned by his management. During this meeting, she notably imposed a six-figure fine on him, the amount of which was not specified. Furthermore, the Bundesliga club published a press release on its X account. “The 30-year-old striker was hit with a record six-figure fine by HSV. He was informed of this at a later meeting. Dompé spoke publicly for the first time, apologized and expressed his intention to engage in social activism ».
The player who played in Ligue 2, at Valenciennes and Amiens in particular, will therefore not travel with his team to face Heidenheim, Saturday at 3:30 p.m., for the 21st day of the Bundesliga. Following this announcement, during which he was suspended until further notice, the player who has been playing in the blue and white tunic since 2022 (2 goals in 15 games this season) admitted his bad behavior. “I know that a simple apology is not enough. I totally failed in my role as a role model. I made serious mistakes and, of course, I will take full responsibility for the consequences. I understand the disappointment of the club, the technical staff and all the supporters who have supported me so far. I am sincerely sorry. I am also sorry for letting the team down during this crucial time”.
