(Reuters) - Fenerbahce defender Samet Akaydin denied spitting on Trabzonspor winger Trezeguet during a Turkish league game earlier this week.
Egyptian Trezeguet was celebrating scoring his team's only goal during the 3-1 defeat when Akaydin appeared to spit at him while walking past.
"I refer to God those who try to tarnish the competition and humanity in football with such slander ... on social media." "This is disgrace. We strongly condemn the inhuman act against our player Trezeguet during the match against Fenerbahce on May 18," Trabzonspor said in statement.
