Former Czech hockey player Martin Erat objected to allegations that he was driving under the influence of alcohol in the US and escaped the accident site. At the same time, he criticized the approach of the overseas media reported by this incident. According to Tuesday’s report by WRKN, Erata was arrested by US police in Tennessee after causing a car accident and escaped from the crime scene. After the arrest, he was released on a bail of $ 30,000, but allegedly continues to face several allegations, including alcohol driving.
“That I would leave the accident? Or would I drink? I don’t understand where it was taken. It’s not fair to me! It’s not so much about me, I like fun. But this is really behind the edge. Although I live in the US, but in the Czech Republic I have a family how someone can write such fictions, ” Erata Czech Deník Sport quoted. According to his description of the events, everything went officially, called the police himself after a car accident and also refused charges that he would drive under the influence of alcohol.
“I was sick. So I had a medicine that was prescribed by a doctor and it is used when a person has a flu. And it was in it that was a little alcohol, ” He claims Erat, who worked in the Nashville Warriors club as director of playing development and as head coach in the Nashville Predators program up to 12 years. He played 13 seasons and more than 900 matches in the NHL. The Czech Republic represented at four World Championships and four Winter Olympics.
