Official statement

In line with its latest statements, Olympique de Marseille will no longer tolerate any insulting comments made about its Club, its directors, its employees or its supporters.

The terms used by Sébastien Tarrago in a televised sports programme on Sunday 19 January are once again unacceptable.

No apology can erase the violence of his comments, particularly at a time when mental health has been declared a major national cause. This is why Olympique de Marseille will be taking legal action to have Sébastien Tarrago convicted and to seek damages.
