A SNIPPET from the Athletic article on Anfang:
At first, Werder defended Anfang and Junge, believing their assurances that it was all a misunderstanding. But as more details emerged, their stance changed. If the pair hadn’t walked, the club would have suspended them.
Werder fan site Deichstube revealed that Anfang and Junge had both been forced to undergo a test for those who are unvaccinated after a player had tested positive in August. When the local health authority got in touch with them following another positive test this month, they suddenly presented vaccination certificates stating jabs in April and July.
So why had they both said in August that they were unvaccinated?
One health official became suspicious, and looked a little closer at the documents.
It transpired that on the date of the first alleged vaccination in Germany, Anfang and Junge had both been in Austria with Werder at a training camp. A vaccine batch number was reportedly also false.
“The police presented us with very clear evidence,” Werder executive chairman Klaus Filbry said.
The allegedly fake documents were confiscated by the authorities. If proven guilty, Anfang and Junge could face up to a year in prison.
