Swedish footballer sent off for farting during match
A Swedish footballer has hit out after being sent off for breaking wind during a match with the referee accusing him of deliberate provocation and unsportsmanlike behaviour.
Adam Lindin Ljungkvist, who was playing at left-back in the match between Järna SKs reserve team and Pershagen SK, was shown a second yellow card late on in what local media called bizarre circumstances.
I had a bad stomach, so I simply let go, the 25-year-old told Länstidningen Södertälje. Then I received two yellow cards and then red. Yes, I was shocked, its the strangest thing I have ever experienced in football.
I asked the referee, What, am I not allowed to break wind a little? No, he replied
I dont get it but maybe he thought I farted in my hand and threw the fart at him. But I did not.
