Chapecoense football club entangled in player misconduct and assault allegations

Santos forward Neymar caused a stir after the club's 2-2 draw with Chapecoense, leaving the training facility without permission and skipping the scheduled recovery session. Club officials said his absence broke the team's planned routine and could affect performance.

Separately, radio commentator Ivan Carlos Agnoletto was dismissed from Rádio Condá FM after he gave a live fan the chance to report an alleged punch by Chapecoense president Alex Passos during the team's 4-0 loss to Flamengo. The fan claimed he was struck after the match, a claim the president acknowledged as a disagreement but denied physical aggression. Agnoletto’s dismissal sparked solidarity statements from other sports broadcasters.
