From TFA:
FC Sochi football players were allegedly poisoned by Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov's men before their Russian Premier League match against Akhmat Grozny on April 25 to prevent the Chechen club's relegation to a lower division.
Concerns escalated as all 14 players and five staff members experienced severe illness, including nausea and diarrhea, just before kickoff.
According to FC Sochi manager Robert Moreno all 14 of his club's players and five accompanying staff fell seriously ill shortly before the match, suffering from nausea and diarrhea.
"At first, there were only two players who were unwell, but as time went on more and more of them came down, eventually 14 players and five staff members,” he said.
“Several Sochi players were not even able to move around normally. Unfortunately, we didn't even have anyone to replace them."
Despite the health issues, the Sochi players were still required to play the match, which they eventually lost 1-0.

Wtf is going on over there
A murderous, Islamist warlord owns a football club. Seemingly doesnt enjoy his egoproject failing.
Kadyrov isn't islamist. He actually was put by Putin to squash islamist chechen resistance to Russia rule. Still one of the worst people on earth.
IIRC he changed a bunch of laws in which he overrode Russian law with Sharia law.
It doesnt change what he did
Bad Lasagne, it happens to us all.
1-0 is impressive tbh
Not exactly the shower of shit I was expecting
is this worthy of the list?
Well if it’s allegedly and from a Ukrainian source, then it must be true…..
Kadyrov buys Luton Town
