The Israel Football Association prosecutor's indictment against Ironi Tiberias, filed in the 'illegal infusions' affair, states that the club endangered its players' health and their continued careers, according to Ben Goldfarb (N12). However, the prosecutor did not specify the penalty he is seeking. Under the association's regulations, the penalty could include relegation and multi-year suspensions for those found responsible.
Earlier today, The Zioneer reported that the prosecutor had demanded the club be charged with assisting drug use and providing stimulants. The case stems from the 'illegal infusions' affair, in which the club was accused of administering infusions containing prohibited substances to players. The club has denied the allegations, with owner Ben Goldfarb stating in June that the infusions were only saline and that 'they are trying to frame us.' The disciplinary process is ongoing.
