🚨 Drink-driving scandal: Bundesliga club suspends key player | OneFootball

There seems to be no peace at Hamburger SV! The club has now announced that Jean-Luc Dompé has been suspended "until further notice." 

The Hanseatics cited only "significant misconduct" by the left winger as the reason. He is excluded from both training and match operations. 

According to several media reports, including 'Bild', Dompé was caught by the police with a blood alcohol level of 1.4 while driving. The club partially confirmed this in the press release: "Dompé was stopped last Sunday (January 25) during a traffic check. During the breath test, the police detected alcohol." There was no information on the exact blood alcohol level. 

The club will decide on further consequences after additional internal consultations, it was stated in conclusion. 

The 'Hamburger Abendblatt' and 'Bild' also reported new details. After being at the police station, Dompé allegedly took an e-scooter for the ride home. He was apparently seen by police officers and received a second citation.
