Overview
- HSV removed Dompé from training and match duty until further notice, informing him of the decision on Thursday after an internal meeting.
- Police confirmed a Jan. 25 stop of a 30-year-old driver in central Hamburg following a suspected red-light violation, detected alcohol on a breath check, drew blood, and seized the driver’s license, with results pending.
- Multiple outlets report the on-site reading was about 1.4‰, a level that exceeds Germany’s 1.1‰ threshold for criminal liability when confirmed by blood analysis.
- Authorities are also investigating an allegation that he rode an e‑scooter after being released from police custody, creating a second case under the same alcohol limits.
- Coach Merlin Polzin said additional club measures will be discussed next week after the Bayern match; Dompé previously paid a €45,000 fine over a 2023 traffic incident.
