Sports psychologist Vadim Gushchin evaluated the psychotype of Spartak forward Quincy Promes and stated clearly that the football player was not examined by a neuropsychiatrist. His perspective guides readers who follow this case in Sports Express through a careful interpretation of Promes’ behavior and public record.
Gushchin said that based on the available information, Promes appears to fit a profile that he described as antisocial tendencies. He stressed that he cannot issue an official diagnosis without the player’s consent to be examined. What is known about Promes at this moment suggests the need for a formal psychiatric review to better understand the mental state behind his actions and choices.
Promes was detained in the United Arab Emirates on March 13 at the request of the Dutch prosecutor’s office, which sought his extradition. Prior to the arrest, he was under house arrest, a status that reflected the severity and complexity of his legal situation.
On February 14, an Amsterdam court issued a six year prison sentence for cocaine trafficking. The hearing took place on January 24, and prosecutors had asked for a 9 year term. Following the verdict, Promes was placed on an international wanted list on February 16. In addition to the cocaine case, he carries a prior prison sentence of 1.5 years for stabbing, which has contributed to a lengthy and complicated legal history.
On March 1, journalist Ivan Karpov reported that Promes was detained in Dubai after an accident. He was accused of leaving the scene, a serious factor in the ongoing legal narrative. Later updates indicated that the incident occurred on January 15, after which Promes returned to Russia and then joined his team for a training camp in Dubai, suggesting a broader pattern of travel and activity amid legal challenges.
In recent coverage it has been noted that Promes has established a documented presence in the UAE during this period, reinforcing the importance of travel records and jurisdiction in understanding the case. The evolving situation continues to draw scrutiny from fans, legal experts, and professional sports organizations who monitor how such cases affect a player’s career and public standing.
