In an interview with “Sporta studijas”, the former general secretary of LBS Edgars Šneps revealed that this is a scandal affecting the results of games that gained a wide resonance in 2014.
–
One of the teams involved in the manipulations was the Liepāja unit, which played in the Latvian Basketball League (LBL) second division championship.
–
Many of Porziņģis’ peers played in the team, but the Liepaja resident himself has been a representative of the Spanish club “Cajasol” in Seville for several years.
–
There were suspicions that the money for making bets came from Porziņģis pocket, therefore discussions were held with representatives of the basketball player’s family, emphasizing the importance of reputation.
–
“In case the rumors have a small basis, make it no longer,” Schnep recalled the conversation with Porziņģis’ family.
–
Porziņģis’ participation in non-sporting activities has not been proven, remaining only at the level of curious rumors.
–
The 24-year-old Porziņģis is currently in the US city of Dallas, where he is preparing for the resumption of the National Basketball Association (NBA) season.
