“I can see what it has done to my family and the uncertainty the situation has created. It hurts to know that I put the ones I love through this. I can't say anything about the punishment, and I fully accept it. I would like to thank my teammates, coaches and many others who have supported me and given me a pat on the back. Now I look forward and will do my best to help the team achieve our goals,” says Rodrigo Huescas.

FC Copenhagen's Sports Director, Sune Smith-Nielsen, acknowledges that Huescas made a mistake and accepts the verdict handed down to the Mexican player.

“Rodrigo has been aware from the very beginning that he has done something very stupid. He has violated Danish legislation and could potentially have put other people at risk. It is completely unacceptable."

“He has apologized many times to us, his family and his teammates. Now the Danish legal system has punished Rodrigo, and we accept the sentence. Now we await when Rodrigo will have to serve his 20 days in prison.”
