“I know that this recruitment shocked some people. It was through a letter, broadcast on le site du think-tank of his family, that the owner of Biarritz Olympique, Louis-Vincent Gave, justifies this Monday the arrival in the Basque club for the next two seasons of the pillar Mohamed Haouas, sentenced at the end of May to one year in prison for domestic violence. Because if Clermont has decided to terminate the contract of his ex-future player and that the French Rugby Federation deprives him of the World Cup, the formation which evolves in Pro D2 chooses to revive him.
“Some of you even took the time to send me messages to express your anger at this news, writes Louis-Vincent Gave. I thank them here for these messages. These supporters love our club and do not hesitate to express their passion. Being myself the husband of the same woman for 20 years, the father of four children (including two teenagers) and the son of parents who have themselves been married for fifty-five years, I am firmly convinced of the importance of the couple as the very foundation of our society. So I understand the dismay of some supporters. But I don’t share it. »
For what ? The Biarrot boss refutes any opportunism after having attracted a 29-year-old international (16 caps) in the second division. “The most important notion is that of forgiveness,” he says in his text. Before recruiting Mohamed Haouas, we spoke to his wife, who told us: Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving us a chance to make a new start. »
He attacks the Minister of Sports
“Sin is hateful, the sinner never”, continues Louis-Vincent Gave, before moving on to a rather unexpected parallel mixing General de Gaulle and Joseph Darnand, a figure of collaboration with the occupier during the Second World War. “Judgment belongs only to God”, insists Gave, who says he was “deeply shocked” by the attitude of the Minister of Sports Amélie Oudéa-Castéra. This had welcomed the “firmness” of the FFR on this file which considered “inadmissible” and “incompatible with the representation of our nation at the international level” the condemnation of the player.
Words that rock in the mouth of the minister in the letter, where Louis-Vincent Gave questions the “separation of powers”. “That day, I called Jean-Baptiste (Aldigé, the president) and asked him to find out and see if we could help Mohamed, his wife and children, says the owner. I hope to make friends with him, as with all our players, over the coming seasons. »
