The Rose wasn’t the only team to report an incorrect alignment in this first round of Copa del Rey. As stated in the resolutions of the Single Disciplinary Judge for non-professional Competitions to which MD had access, as well as Manchego yesterday filed a complaint due to the alleged improper alignment of Antequera in the match played on Thursday. However, the allegations were rejected yesterday on two grounds: for being untimely and for not presenting specific arguments and being based on generic allegations.
As the judge explained, the allegations are out of time because “article 26.3 of the RFEF Disciplinary Code, under the heading ‘Hearing procedure’, sets a time limit to frame allegations or use methods of the defense admitted by law. , which will end at 2:00 pm on the next business day of the match, in the case of matches held on a day other than the weekend, as the case, having received the letter from CD Manchego Ciudad Real when said deadline was greatly missed”.
The aforementioned article to which the competition judge refers says verbatim: “Said right may be exercised within the period ending at 2 pm on the second business day following the match in question, during which the allegations or claims made must be submitted to the secretariat of the disciplinary body; In the case of meetings held on a day other than a weekend, the aforementioned period shall be understood to be reduced by twenty-four hours, that is, until 2:00 pm of the next business day.“.
But also, in the same writing, the judge considered that the allegations presented for this improper alignment were not clearly established. “Also, article 26.4 defines as a necessary requirement for possible claims for alleged improper alignment, the contribution, by the complainant or claimant, of a principle of proof regarding the alleged commission of the violation , with general allegations that are insufficient in the event of possible suspicions. For these reasons, CD Manchego Ciudad Real’s claim cannot be accepted.“.
The aforementioned 26.4 also referred to by the judge literally says “In the same way, any claims for alleged improper alignments will also be prevented and, even if they occur, the result of the match will be automatically confirmed if they are not shown within the aforementioned period. It is a necessary requirement for the complainant or claimant to provide proof of the alleged commission of the misalignment violation. Otherwise, the disciplinary body will order the filing of proceedings without further processing.“.
