The face of the derby between Olympiakos and Panathinaikos, which never ended, was undoubtedly the doctor of the match, Christos Gogos. Mr. Gogos in an interview at “Trial at OPEN” of Kyriakou Thomaidis spoke about what happened in “G. Karaiskakis” after Huancar was injured by a firecracker, emphasized that there were no two opinionswhile adding that the Spaniard wasn’t lying about the problem he was facing.
Among other things, Christos Gogos stated:
“As far as the referee is concerned, the medical part gives it full credit. No, we didn’t see the firecracker, because we were sitting on the middle bench. But I heard the noise and the “doctor run”. He had horizontal nystagmus. He wasn’t kidding. We call it temporary hearing loss. He could neither hear nor stand. I asked for a stretcher to come.
At that moment and after a quarter, he could not fight. Several times over the next 60 minutes, 3 or 4 times, we went to the doctor’s office, where Juancar was. In such, in quotes, injuries there is improvement. Because, if there was no improvement, he would have suffered a total eardrum rupture. It seemed like a temporary rupture. When we reviewed him, he was hearing from both sides. I went to pick him up, though, twice and both times he told me he couldn’t stand up.
This needed to be inside, to be seen. I motivated mine to come to the hospital. There is an EKAV ambulance, which serves public hospitals, not private ones. It is not provided by law. Of course there was an ambulancetook another patient from Gate 7, who had passed out.
From the moment he says “I can’t stand”, I said that further tests need to be done. There is no expert “dizzometer”. The referee stood in this particular paragraph: fit or not fit. There was tension in the locker room, but I didn’t see any fighting, shoving, or swearing. Everyone wanted their share of opinion. If I wrote fit, Olympiacos took it on paper. With not fit, Panathinaikos took it. I didn’t feel any pressure. They were all to the point».
