An incident occurred between national team members Tuncay Shamil and Aslan Kotsoyev on the eve of the national youth judo team's trip to North Macedonia to participate in the European Cup.
According to the Azerbaijan Judo Federation (ACF), both athletes were removed from the competition as a result, and the matter was investigated by the federation's Disciplinary Committee.
The Committee held meetings with the athletes, reviewed their written explanations and existing facts (audio recordings). At the same time, it assessed the athletes' behavior and penalties received so far, as well as the proposals of the national team management.
The Committee decided to indefinitely remove Tuncay Shamil from the Azerbaijani national team due to actions that contradict the Ethical Code of the International Judo Federation, the Code of Ethics of the Azerbaijan Judo Federation, and judo values in general, and to ban him from participating in international competitions and training camps as part of the team.
It should be noted that Tuncay Shamil has repeatedly violated internal rules and has been removed from international and local competitions.
The athlete's morality, patience, and discipline are of great importance, and sporting potential is formed on these values. The ACF emphasized that it will continue to adhere to its core principles and the judo code of honor in the future.
