According to The Athletic, Andriy Shevchenko, recently arrived at the head of the Ukrainian federation, wants to set up lie detectors for the referees of the Ukrainian championship. “If a referee does not wish to take a lie detector test, he will no longer be allowed to referee,” said the legendary former AC Milan striker. The objective is to avoid “accusations of impartiality of referees, corruption and match-fixing”, according to the Ukrainian federation.
Another novelty in Ukrainian football is the appearance of draws to appoint referees during each match. Before, the best referees were appointed for big matches etc. A system that we could see in France. These draws remain “on trial” for the moment.
