Scandal with corrupt referees consumes Bulgarian Football Union

Sport: Wednesday, 2008-08-20 08:00
Article by: FrogNews.bg

Evidence of manipulating referees and matches set the roof of the BFU on fire and may spread to the State Agency for Youth and Sports. In an official letter arbiter Hristo Ristoskov accused Borislav Alexandrov, chairman of the Referee Committee, of putting pressure on referees to make calls in favor of certain teams.

The accusations also apply to Ivan Lekov, vice chairman of SAYS and member of the BFU executive committee. Lekov tried to blackmail Ristoskov, promising to use his lobby in FIFA and UEFA to earn him a higher rank in international referee lists. Ristoskov claims he has proof and will take the matter to the respective authorities. Lekov has called at more than 100 international matches, including Euro 2000. He yields considerable influence in various international and European football centrals. He has represented FIFA and UEFA as a delegate at international matches in the past 7 years.

Borislav Mihailov, BFU president and VP of FIFA and UEFA’s referee committees, is forced to deal with the raging scandal. Mihailov diminished the importance of Ristoskov’s accusations, calling them "a personal matter to be dealt with by the Referee Committee". He confirmed that he’d received the letter and would familiarize himself with the results of a possible investigation.

In related news Mihailov is facing pressure from UEFA on account of national Georgi Hristov. The arbitration committee of the BFU terminated his contract with Botev FC and enabled him to transfer to Levski. Botev complained before the Court of arbitration in Lausanne, but the BFU declared they wouldn’t recognize the institution’s decision.
Under FIFA and UEFA regulations every football central has to cooperate with an independent institution on such disputes and in this case the decisions of the Arbitration court are final. This the BFU and Mihailov may be subject to penalties.
