Allegations of attempted Clasico corruption made by an official "sound a little implausible" as no official has been appointed, according to Javier Tebas
Claims of attempted corruption in November's Clasico clash in La Liga are "implausible", according to the president of Spain's Professional Football League (LFP).
Reported allegations from an unnamed assistant referee emerged this week, in which the official claimed to have been pressured by a member of the Referees Technical Committee to try to sway the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona in favour of the capital club.
Sports Council (CSD) chief Miguel Cardenal urged the official in question to come forward on Thursday, insisting they should make their allegation public as nobody should fear reprisal.
However, La Liga president Javier Tebas says it is difficult to credit the claims because no match officials have yet been appointed for the encounter on November 21.
"The complaint sounds a little implausible, because the officials have not been appointed for that match yet," he said to Marca.
Tebas also talked about the investigation into Fifa vice-president Angel Maria Villar, which is understood to have been brought about by the Fifa ethics committee after he refused to cooperate with Michael Garcia's report into the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
"It's not for doing the dirty work himself, but for failing to collaborate in finding out how the others did it," said Tebas
