Luis Garca, ex-footballer and now sportscaster, participated in the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games and 25 years after that fair, revealed that the Mexican national team was involved in an attempted bribery for 100 thousand dollars to be won.
“They offered us wool, at that time 100,000 dollars for those of us who were the three biggest reinforcements because bettors knew perfectly that there were three majors on each team. I was not at that meeting, it was Campos and David Oteo was taken away and told: ‘You shut up and if they ask, you are Luis Garca “, He commented in a video on his channel Farsantes con Gloria.
In that tournament, Mexico advanced to the next round as first place in group C by beating Italy and drawing against Ghana and South Korea, but in the next round they were eliminated by Nigeria who, in the end, won the Olympic gold.
“I think they were Filipino gamblers, they tell Campos: ‘We give you $ 100,000 to lose.’ Jorge refused and they told him: ‘Well, 100,000 for you to win.’ What they wanted was for us to get into that fucking shady game, “he added.
