I’m Kylian, I think I’m still exposed, but I did this. It’s going well, I’m at peace. Before leaving, there is this photo coming out of the restaurant… There were lots of people ready to welcome me at the bottom of the hotel for departure, lots of journalists. Then when I’m on the plane, I have the information. I have no idea who (the complainant) is. Now we must let justice take its course.» And put your head back together.
