MOSCOW, April 27, Semyon Galkevich.President of the CSKA basketball club Andrei Vatutin said that the publication by Joel Bolomboy of official correspondence between the club and the agent, as well as the player’s refusal to return to the team’s location, are the reason to start legal proceedings. On Wednesday, Bolomboy posted a photo of a letter from CSKA vice president for sports work Natalia Furaeva, in which it is reported that the club asks the athlete to return to Russia until May 1, 2022. It is noted that in case of refusal, the sanctions provided for by the contract will be applied. The club also returned to Bolomboy part of the money due under the agreement. The basketball player rudely stated that he was not going to return to Russia. «Dear Joel! Although we haven't seen each other for a long time — in February you left so quickly that you didn't even have time to say goodbye — we were pleased to receive news from the USA today that you had I want to thank you for the slightly belated gift to the club for Easter, we really appreciate it.It's about the posting on Instagram (Meta activity (social networks Facebook and Instagram) is banned in Russia as extremist) official correspondence between CSKA and your agent.Perhaps enjoying the unplanned rest, you just forgot that you signed the internal regulations of the club, and under the current contract made statements discrediting the club's reputation. Alas, along with the departure, that is, a violation of the contract, this will be another excellent reason for litigation. I wish you a good rest and well-being» , — the press service of CSKA quoted Vatutin as saying. Bolomboy left the location of CSKA at the end of February. The status of agreements with all players who left the club should be resolved when the political and sporting situation in Europe returns to normal. Bolomboy, 28, is a native of Donetsk. The player has been representing CSKA since 2018. As part of the army team, he became the winner of the Euroleague, twice — the VTB United League and once — the owner of the Super Cup of the VTB United League.
