Sports commentator and journalist Vasily Utkin in his own video Youtube channel he jokingly suggested that Spartak play Quincy Promes for 90 minutes in every match so that he would not have any contact with the bench.
“Spartak are known to have problems on the bench. You don’t want anyone to go to jail, but possession of drugs is of course a very serious offence, especially if proven in court.
In general, we can say that the prosecutor’s office offered Promes a 9-year contract. “As the trial continues (which will likely remain in Quincy’s memory for a long time) he can no longer be kept on the bench, it will have bad connotations,” Utkin said.
The Spartak football player was accused of stabbing his cousin in the summer of 2020. At this time the Dutchman was already an Ajax player. He was sentenced to one and a half years in prison. Promes was later involved in a cocaine smuggling case.
Promes has been playing for Spartak since February 2021. This is his second time joining the team. He played for the red-whites between 2014 and 2018. The Dutch player became the Russian champion with the team in the 2016/17 season.
The Dutch player played 17 matches (6+6) in the Russian Championship this season.
Former member of parliament explained The Promes case “reeks of politics”.
