A tennis club in Belgium has suspended a player after he told his Jewish player that “all of you should have been gassed”.
Alain Verlaak reportedly made the comment to a Maccabi player during a tournament at Tennis 7th Olympis club in Antwerp. The Jewish player, who chose only to be identified as Serge S. due to security concerns, said that the incident occurred during a dispute over whether a point should be scored or not. Verlaak was suspended and removed from the tournament.
A criminal complaint has been made to the police.
