English ex-arbitration David Kut, who judged at the level of nuclear submarines and international matches, again ended up at the epicenter of a scandalous event.

Kut gave a resonant interview to The Sun, in which he admitted that he was a homosexual.

I experienced a deep sense of shame, especially in adolescence.

I have not opened my parents until I was 21 years old. I have not opened my friends until I was 25.

My sexuality is not the only reason that led me to this position. But I will not tell a true story if I do not say that I am gay and that it was very difficult for me to hide it.

I hid my emotions when I was a young referee, and also hid my sexual orientation - this is a good quality as an arbiter, but a terrible quality as a person.

And this led me to a whole spectrum of behavior "

David also added that due to his orientation I had problems with self -esteem “I had problems with self -esteem - and this is due to my sexuality. I am gay, and I fought with a sense of pride for the fact that I am the "

During my career, I was subjected to very unpleasant insults, and it would also be very difficult to add my sexual orientation to this, ”the Englishman summed up.

Also, Sky Sports turned to a former judge with a request to provide a comment and he agreed.

“It was one of the most difficult periods of my life. I take full responsibility for my actions, which turned out to be much lower than what was expected from me.

I sincerely apologize for any resentment caused by my actions, and for putting a game that I love in a negative light in a negative light.

I hope that people will understand that these were private moments made in very difficult times in my life. They do not reflect who I am today or what I think.

Now I am focused on continuing to give priority to my mental health and prosperity. I hope that my experience, both on the field and outside it, can be used in football at some point in the future.

Finally, I want to thank everyone who supported me recently, in particular my family, friends, former colleagues, PGMOL and Howard Webb, as well as countless people in football.

Special gratitude is also to many strangers who treated the words of encouragement and support, I appreciated it more than I can express it, ”Kut summed up.

We will remind, earlier the referee fell into a scandal with a video where he insulted Jurgen Klop and Liverpool. After that he was fired, and then suspected that he helped his friend win money on bets.
