Perez agrees to suspension
01 December 2006
Kenneth Perez has accepted the proposal of the prosecutor of the Dutch FA in the matter of his remarks in the match against FC Twente. He will be suspended for five matches and fined €12,500.
Kenneth Perez: ,, I accept the punishment by the Dutch FA. In the first place out of respect for the people I have hurt with my remark. Furthermore, in the interest of my family, my club and my teammates, I want to end this matter. Reason tells me that accepting the punishment is the best way to end the public discussion that I feel in my heart has led to a disproportionately high punishment. I have already expressed my deepest regrets about what happened during the match Ajax - FC Twente on Sunday 19 November. I want to emphasize again that I am not a racist, but, in the heat of the moment, inadvertently used a discriminating remark as a term of abuse. As I have said last week, I will make a financial contribution to a charitable cause. I hope the Football Association will do the same with my fine.”
