On Tuesday morning, the media circulated about the arrest of Szymon Z. On Monday evening at the House of the Olympic champion from Sydney (2000) there was a row. The wife of the former thresher called the police, and the officers decided that the man's physical and mental condition did not leave them a choice and took him to the sobering -up room.
On Wednesday morning, Eurosport announced that the prosecutor's office in Poznań charged Z.. It's about threatening his wife and mental abuse of her. According to Polish law, such crimes are punishable by three months to five years imprisonment. Z. did not plead guilty. – The prosecutor ended his activities with a suspect of threats and mental abuse of his wife. The suspect did not admit and gave extensive explanations. The prosecutor did not apply preventive measures against the suspect – said the spokesman of the prosecutor's office Łukasz Wawrzyniak in an interview with TVN24.
Shortly after these information The message was published Polish Light athletics. “PZLA He takes the case of Szymon Z. seriously and will follow her development. We will ask him for clarification. At this stage, based solely on media reports, we do not comment on the matter and count on its rapid explanation by law enforcement agencies, “the federation wrote on Platform X.
Recognizing this message too laconic, we contacted Sebastian Chmara. We ask the President of the Polish Athletics Association about when Z. will explain to PZLA.
– I have already talked to Szymon. He called me this morning and said he was preparing a statement. So we are waiting – a swarm tells us. – Szymon Z. has charges, but we do not know what will happen next, so at this point we are not able to do anything. For us, this situation is very difficult, but at this point we have to look calmly. We are waiting for Szymon's statement and on this basis we will take some further steps – adds the president of PZLA.
PZLA does not pay coach Adrianna Sułek. “The situation is clear here”
Chmara is not able to say if PZLA will continue to employ Z. and pay him a salary for working with Paweł Fajdek. However, it is certain that at this moment the Federation will not decide on the step she took about the new coach Adrianna Sułek. Our great multi -player has recently been working with Timi Minichiello. This is the British, which in 2012 led to the Jessica Ennis-Hill Olympic championship, but in 2022 he stayed in the UK disqualified. This happened because of his sexual abuse, emotional violence and intimidation. As soon as it turned out that Sułek began working with this trainer, PZLA announced that the player with the union did not consult this decision and that the British coach is not and would not be financed by PZLA.
– Here the situation is clear: the British Association of Athletics was suspended by coach Minichiello, in connection with the above we decided that we would not finance him. However, in the case of coach Z. we have a difficult situation, we are very sorry that there was such a thing that he was accused. We sympathize with his wife, his and the whole family, but we are waiting for decisions. Not ours, because we are not for it – explains the Chmara.
– I assure you that we will react at any time and after each subsequent information. We are certainly very serious about the matter. At this point, we are waiting for Szymon Z.'s statement and on this basis we will take some further steps – ends the president of Chmara.
