“The media have declared that I participated a few days ago in a game of” wild football “in Mont-de-Marsan with Loïs Diony. I confirm that. I still want to clarify that originally we were only a few football lovers to want to stretch our legs after these long weeks without a ball. The love of football was stronger. When I saw that many people joined us on the ground and when the police introduced themselves, I immediately realized that it was not the best idea. This is the reason why, I immediately left the scene while the match continued. In the future I will make sure that I no longer participate in this type of event and I remain well aware that I have not set an example. I take full responsibility for my actions. I apologize to you ”, wrote Gaëtan Laborde on social networks. From Tuesday, the Bordeaux can return to training with his teammates, pending the resumption of Ligue 1 on August 23.
