Samuel Eto'o apologises for 'violent altercation' outside World Cup ... (The Guardian)

The former Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o has apologised for what he described as a 'violent altercation' at the World Cup on Monday.

Eto’o said in his statement: “I pledge to continue to resist the relentless provocation and daily harassment of some Algerian supporters. He said that Eto’o became violent after Mamouni asked him whether he had bribed the Gambian referee Bakary Gassama in the controversial World Cup qualifier between Cameroon and Algeria in March. I therefore call on the Algerian authorities and federation to take their responsibilities to put an end to this unhealthy climate before a more serious tragedy occurs. “I would like to apologise for losing my temper and reacting in a way that does not match my personality. He then reacts to comments by a man holding a camera. A video on social media shows the 41-year-old striking a man to the ground with his right knee outside Stadium 974 in Doha.
