A German football coach was on Wednesday banned from football for a year and fined €20 000 by the Football federation after admitting he used fake documents to claim he was fully vaccinated against Covid.
Markus Anfang was fired by Werder Bremen in November after it was discovered that he and his assistant coach, who was also fired, used fake certifications.
They also tried to deceive the local health officials to avoid being quarantined as contact patients.
Florian Junge, Anfang’s former assistant, was also given a ten-month suspension and a €3,000 fine by the German Football Association (DFB).
“Through their acts, Markus Anfang and Florian Junge have violated their role-model responsibilities as coaches to a significant extent,” stated Hans E. Lorenz, chairman of the DFB sports court.
As they both admitted, their suspensions are partially on probation, allowing them to coach next season.
Anfang and Junge “each got a fake vaccination certificate in the summer of 2021, which wrongly listed them as twice vaccinated against the coronavirus,'” according to the DFB statement.
They gave Werder phony certifications “so that they no longer took part” in the club’s routine testing program “from early autumn forward.”
Furthermore, once Bremen defender Marco Friedl tested positive, they both produced a falsified vaccination card to Bremen’s health department to avoid quarantine as contact patients.
