The former referee considered that one of Arturo Brizio’s priorities was to disappear the association that protected him
Adalid Maganda continues his legal fight against FMF due to his dismissal as referee of the MX League, given this situation the former referee Roberto García Orozco raised his voice and exclusively for ESPN revealed that Arturo Brizio, together with the arbitration commission, deceived Maganda.
“I know Adalid because I have lived with him for several years, he is not a bad person and in the end he is hurt by the way he was treated, I put the issue of racism aside because I don’t know, but what the Referee is bothered by the fact that there is no communication.
“Adalid was tricked into being discharged and it’s too annoying, They took him and told him that he was going to review his match and that they would work so that he could improve and suddenly lawyers appeared there. let me tell you that you are discharged, it is a situation that would bother anyone, in this leadership which is a situation that has happened too much, situations in which no one in the committee shows their face and does not speak in front of us and today there are too many lawsuits against the Federation because in the end there is no humane treatment by the commission towards the arbitrator. “
García Orozco regretted that the arbitration association no longer exists to defend Maganda and revealed that at that time César Ramos Palazuelos was threatened not to remain at the head of the arbitration union.
“Today there is no such union, I consider that the work of lawyer Arturo Brizio when he reached the commission was to disappear the association, for different circumstances, I left the leaders and there was no one to take that leadership from the referees.
“At the time, I thought César Ramos was the right person to take that place, but César was told to forget that he would be in charge of the association, because doing so would have repercussions. I understood César perfectly, he preferred to focus on his race and go to the World Cup and continue well in Mexico, but the first thing Brizio did when he arrived was the disintegration of the association, the group was divided and now I pay the consequences, because the group that benefited today his ability has not shown that he transcends arbitration. “
Former referee hopes that the Maganda case will help change the mistreatment of various whistleblowers by the elements of the arbitration commission.
“I don’t think anyone deserves such treatment, in any company I think human treatment is always important, unfortunately there has always been a double standard, things have always been treated badly by the commission and in the end it is what hurts the referee that , the arbitrators would like the president to show his face and speak directly to the people involved and give them his views.
“I think the referee would be calmer and leave the referee happy with the way he treats him, especially at the end of the race, and something he emphasized a lot is the double talk, I tell you one thing and something very different happens. “, Concluded García Orozco for ESPN.
