Ironi Tiberias has reached a plea agreement regarding a case involving the administration of intravenous fluids to players. The deal, which still requires approval from the league's tribunal, stipulates an immediate deduction of three points from the team's standing. The club faced disciplinary action after fluids were administered to players in an unorganized manner and without a doctor present. Initially, the team's coach, Eliran Hodda, technical director Chen Sol, and five players were suspended as part of the investigation.
This marks the second points deduction for Ironi Tiberias this season. The team began the season with a six-point deficit due to a double-contract scandal, following an eight-point deduction last season for a similar issue. Despite past setbacks, the team managed to secure its league status in the previous season.
With the impending point reduction, Ironi Tiberias is set to return to the bottom of the league table with zero points. The team is scheduled to host Beitar Jerusalem on Saturday evening in an effort to move out of the relegation zone for the first time this season.
