Panathinaikou doctor: “It cannot be disputed – You cannot cook the hearing test”

Clear about his condition Juancar about his ear injury after the firecracker in Karaiskakis he was the doctor of Panathinaikos in what he mentioned in the hearing of the case of the derby between Olympiacos and Panathinaikos.

Panagiotis Alexandropoulos stated that from the tests carried out on the trefoil ace it was established that he could not compete while underlining, regarding the tests carried out on the Spaniard at the Hygeia hospital, that the tests carried out are indisputable, which is happening from his side Olympiakou.

“You can’t cook the hearing test”was the characteristic of the line pointing out afterwards that “the result was mild hearing loss.”

Answering questions from Olympiakos’ lawyers about Juancar’s injury, who questioned the Spaniard’s injury, Panathinaikos’ doctor said…

“A player who has a cross, without blood, has an injury. The player suffered an ear injury. And Mr. Theos mentioned it. You know we are doctors, we talk to each other. I asked the doctor: Do you let him in to play? He replied “no”.

Here are the highlights of what the doctor said in his witness examination.

“I was on the bench when the incident happened. It is 80m from the point. The warm-up took place on the bench of Olympiakos. The goal has been scored, suddenly we see a commotion on the Olympiakos bench. I ran to be close, he was already the doctor of the match and of Olympiakos. He was examined on the spot by the match doctor, it was found that he had horizontal nystagmus and that he could not hear. We called a stretcher to take him to the doctor’s office”said Panagiotis Alexandropoulos and continued:

“In the doctor’s office was me, Mr. Theos and the match doctor. He examines him again to see if he has the findings found on the pitch. I am an orthopedist, as is Mr. Theos. He was also examined in the field doctor, found the same things and it was a question of whether he can continue or whether he should be taken for tests. We waited 60 minutes because we had no way to transfer for more tests. Of course the man was conscious. Of course he was injured.

He was traumatized by his clinical symptoms, Mr. Theos also mentioned it. We are doctors talking to each other. The question I asked the doctor if he can continue or if he is putting him in, he was no. But it was a discussion between us, in the presence of Mr. Theo.

A player who has a cross, but has no blood, has a wound. The player suffered an ear injury. And Mr. Theos mentioned it. You know we are doctors, we talk to each other. I asked the doctor: Do you let him in to play? He replied “no”. He was also examined in the doctor’s office and the question was whether he can compete and whether he should go to the hospital. We had to wait because we didn’t have the means for further tests. We saw that he could not get up, tendency to vomit. It is understood that the player was conscious. He had a barotrauma in the ear.”

Panagiotis Alexandropoulos then stated:

The nystagmus had improved at 60 minutes, it is a disorder of the labyrinth. There was an improvement in his hearing. Then we went back and forth to the referee’s office about whether the match can continue. The doctor had findings, he wouldn’t let him play. The man wanted to do more tests, he didn’t feel ‘safe’. From the inside, space, time and place did not allow diagnosis. We had no idea that the game was over, I left afterwards and went to the hospital.

The person may not have external trauma. The labyrinth is inside, in a nest. You can’t tell without tests. The x-ray did not leave anything, neurologically it was ok. When someone has vertigo it doesn’t mean they’re half dead.”

Regarding the tests performed on Juancar at the Health Department, he emphasized…

“You can’t cook the hearing test. The test was done the next day and the result was mild hearing loss.

For me it could not be considered at the time. “The concussion of the labyrinth is there and the symptoms are dizziness, tendency to vomit… There is no way he could compete and he will not compete in today’s game or the next one.”was the position of the shamrock doctor.
