Bodo/Glimt has been dropped by NFFs ethics committee after being accused of discrimination against its own women's team and visiting teams in the Toppserien. The complaint was filed by Richard Jansen, who claimed that Bodø/Glimt discriminated against its own women's team and visiting teams in the Toppserien. Now, the ethics committee has landed on the case and chosen to lay off the treatment of the complaint. - We experienced that the ethical perspective in the case was strongly reduced when we dived into the problem. It was more about following the license criteria, writes the leader of the ethics committee, Eivind Kopland, in an email to TV 2. The complainant, Richard Jansen, has been orally informed of the decision by the committee leader himself. - As I experience it, the ethics committee is stuck in the same wall I have been hitting for over a year. Some in NFF are protecting Bodø/Glimt. The ethics committee has also failed to find out who gave Glimt dispensation from the locker room requirement in the license – a requirement that cannot be given dispensation from, Jansen tells TV 2. Jansen refers to the fact that visiting teams in the Toppserien who visit Aspmyra are given a locker room that does not meet the license requirements. Despite the fact that there is a visiting locker room on the stadium that meets the requirements and is used by visiting teams in the Eliteserien. - I complained about Glimt because they refuse to let the visiting team in the Toppserien use the visiting locker room, Jansen says. - That's how the case stands. Everyone is chasing the known margins, but some are protected by NFF, while the players in the Toppserien do not, he concludes.
