Tiberias Owner Aryeh Kalmanzon Denounces Allegations Against Club as Baseless

Aryeh Kalmanzon, owner of the Israeli football club Ironi Tiberias, responded strongly to recent allegations against the team, calling the accusations "an inflated balloon that has burst." The club has faced turmoil in recent months, including controversies over double contracts and a recent dispute involving saline solution use by players.

Kalmanzon stated that the number of implicated players has shrunk from over 14 to just six, and that claims of banned substances have been reduced to a technical discussion about the volume of saline solution, which he emphasized is completely legal. He affirmed that Ironi Tiberias has acted in full compliance with WADA regulations and under medical supervision.

He criticized political and media pressures on the football association's prosecutor, insisting these attempts will not override the solid medical and legal facts supporting the club. Kalmanzon urged rivals to accept the sporting decisions made on the field and reassured fans that Ironi Tiberias's place in the Premier League is secure. He warned that fabricated cases against the club will quickly collapse.
