HSV has made a clear and tough decision regarding Jean-Luc Dompé. The club has just officially announced this.
After the scandal surrounding the winger and his temporary suspension, the sports management sought another conversation with the 30-year-old on Tuesday morning. In a press release, the Rothosen outlined their further actions.
As HSV announced, Dompé will remain excluded from play this week as well. Therefore, he will again be absent against 1. FC Heidenheim (Saturday, 3:30 PM). Additionally, the Frenchman was fined a club-record amount in the six-figure range. This underscores the club management's consistent approach in handling the incident that occurred at the end of January. Dompé was stopped during a traffic check, and a breathalyzer test showed a blood alcohol level of 1.4.
The incident is considered particularly sensitive since the HSV star had previously been involved in a serious traffic offense. In February 2023, he was involved in an illegal street race with teammate William Mikelbrencis, crashing a BMW into a bus stop in St. Pauli and fleeing the scene. For this offense, Dompé had to pay around 45,000 euros.
The offensive player himself is also quoted in HSV's statement. "I am aware that a simple apology is not enough. I have absolutely not lived up to my role model function," Dompé explained. He further stated: "I have made serious mistakes and, of course, bear the full consequences for them. I can understand the disappointment of the club, the coaching team, and all the fans who have always supported me up to this point."
The sporting aspect weighs particularly heavily on him: "I am incredibly sorry. Also, that I let the team down during this phase, these crucial weeks."
However, there does not seem to be a complete break between the player and the club. Dompé is expected to rejoin team training this week. When he will return to the squad remains open. HSV emphasized that a possible reintegration will depend on how the player behaves in the future. Additionally, Dompé announced his intention to engage in social work.
