A Swedish footballer has hit out after being sent off for breaking wind during a match - with the referee¹ accusing him of "deliberate provocation²" and "unsportsmanlike behaviour".

 

一位瑞典球员因赛中放屁而被红牌罚出场，他对此表示强烈不满。裁判认定他的放屁行为是“蓄意挑衅”，并且“有违体育道德”。

 

Adam Lindin Ljungkvist, who was playing at left-back in the match between Järna SK's reserve team and Pershagen SK, was shown a second yellow card late on in what local media called "bizarre circumstances".

 

"I had a bad stomach, so I simply let go," the 25-year-old told Länstidningen Södertälje. "Then I received two yellow cards and then red. Yes, I was shocked, it's the strangest thing I have ever experienced in football.

 

"I asked the referee, ‘What, am I not allowed to break wind a little?' ‘No,' he replied … I don't get it but maybe he thought I farted in my hand and threw the fart at him. But I did not."

 

The referee, Dany Kako, confirmed that Ljungkvist had received the second yellow card for breaking wind, explaining: "I perceived it as deliberate provocation. He did it on purpose and it was inappropriate. Therefore, he received a yellow card."

 

Ljungkvist told Aftonbladet: "To provoke anyone with a fart is not particularly smart or normal. It's nonsense - I just broke wind and got a red card. I spoke³ to the referee afterwards, I was annoyed, but there were no bad words. I just said he was a buffoon⁴."
