Defeated by Baysangour "Baki" Chamsoudinov because of a splinter in his foot, Cédric Doumbè is having trouble digesting the defeat, pointing the finger at the refereeing. "The word defeat hurts.I wouldn't describe it as a defeat, but rather as a refereeing error," he says.
According to the Franco-Cameroonian, he suffered an injustice."No object in the way of the fighting surface should be present in the fighting surface. If there is, the referee must ensure that the object is removed. Time-out, remove it, start again. That's exactly what I wanted," he repeats. I could have removed the splinter myself. But I really didn't understand. I don't know what's biting me, if there's more than one, if it's going to keep digging in... I say to myself, OK, I'll follow the rules, I'll talk to the referee, instead of squatting myself", he explained on the Canal + show Clique on Monday March 11th.
