A Swedish footballer has hit out after being sent off for breaking wind during a match – with the referee accusing him of “deliberate provocation” and “unsportsmanlike behaviour”.

一位瑞典球员因赛中放屁而被红牌罚出场，他对此表示强烈不满。裁判认定他的放屁行为是“蓄意挑衅”，并且“有违体育道德”。

Adam Lindin Ljungkvist, who was playing at left-back in the match between J rna SK’s reserve team and Pershagen SK, was shown a second yellow card late on in what local media called “bizarre circumstances”.

亚当·林丁·朗菲斯特在J rna SK预备队和Pershagen SK队的比赛中担当左后卫。临近赛末，他吃到了第二张黄牌。当地媒体称当时的情形相当“奇葩”。

“I had a bad stomach, so I simply let go,” the 25-year-old told L nstidningen S dert lje. “Then I received two yellow cards and then red. Yes, I was shocked, it’s the strangest thing I have ever experienced in football.

这位25岁的球员告诉瑞典南泰利耶日报说：“我胃不舒服，所以就放了个屁。然后我就累积两张黄牌被红牌罚下了。我非常震惊。这是我在足球场上经历的最奇怪的事。”

“I asked the referee, ‘What, am I not allowed to break wind a little?’ ‘No,’ he replied … I don’t get it but maybe he thought I farted in my hand and threw the fart at him. But I did not.”

“我问裁判：‘我不能在场上放个屁吗？’他回答‘不能’。我完全不明白。也许他认为我把屁放在了手里，然后向他扔过去了。但我没有。”

Opposition striker Kristoffer Linde told the paper: “I was standing a good distance away but I heard the fart loud and clear. It’s the strangest thing I’ve seen on a pitch, and I’ve been playing football since I was eight years old.”

另一队的前锋克里斯托弗·林德告诉报纸：“我当时和朗菲斯特离得挺远，但他放屁我还是听得一清二楚。我从8岁就开始踢球了，还从没在球场上见过这么奇怪的事。”

The referee, Dany Kako, confirmed that Ljungkvist had received the second yellow card for breaking wind, explaining: “I perceived it as deliberate provocation. He did it on purpose and it was inappropriate. Therefore, he received a yellow card.”

裁判丹尼·卡科证实朗菲斯特因放屁而收到第二张黄牌。他解释称：“我认为这是蓄意挑衅。他是故意这么做的。这种行为很不恰当，他也为此得了一张黄牌。”

Ljungkvist told Aftonbladet: “To provoke anyone with a fart is not particularly smart or normal. It’s nonsense – I just broke wind and got a red card. I spoke to the referee afterwards, I was annoyed, but there were no bad words. I just said he was a buffoon.”

朗菲斯特告诉《瑞典晚报》：“用放屁激怒别人既不聪明也不合常理。这种说法根本是胡扯。我只是放了个屁，然后就吃了红牌。我很恼火，后来去和裁判交涉。但没讲什么难听的话，我就说了他是个小丑。”

Kako said he had experienced similar incidents before. “Once there was a player who stood and peed next to the pitch. I showed him a yellow card, too.”

卡科表示他遇见过类似的情况：“有一次，一个球员在场边撒尿。我也给了他一张黄牌。”
