Hours after the latest scandal in Cuban baseball, the National Baseball Commission addressed the events in a press conference.
As reported by JIT, Juan Reynaldo Pérez Pardo, national commissioner, stated that in the match between Matanzas and the local Pinar del Río, referee Ricardo Campanioni was sanctioned for two games due to his error last Tuesday.
However, he rejoined on Saturday and the amplification announced him with another name, something unprecedented in the Cuban series, and which was denounced by several sports journalists, whom the Federation later described as “lacking ethics.”
Pérez Pardo told the state press that the official was unable to participate in two games and did participate on Saturday and Sunday, as reflected in the box scores and the official score sheet of the two games.
The head of Cuban baseball assured the media and the local sound system of the Capitán San Luis Stadium that “they were given a false name without even knowing its origin, but it was never given by any baseball director (game or game commissioner). referees).
In this way, he announced an investigation by a commission created to get to the bottom of the issue and find out who carried out this action, “which detracts from our baseball,” he said.
