UCLA Players Apologize, Get Suspended

Описание: (15 Nov 2017) Three UCLA basketball players accused of shoplifting in China apologized Wednesday before coach Steve Alford announced they were being suspended indefinitely.
The coach said LiAngelo Ball, Jalen Hill and Cody Riley wouldn't be allowed to suit up, practice or travel with the team while the university continues to sort out the circumstances of last week's incident in Hangzhou, China.
Ball, Hill and Riley took turns acknowledging their actions and apologizing while also thanking President Donald Trump for intervening on their behalf with his Chinese counterpart. Athletic director Dan Guerrero also spoke, but no one took questions from a horde of media.
"I'm sorry for stealing from the stores in China,'' said Ball, the younger brother of Los Angeles Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball, who played last season at UCLA.
"I've learned my lesson from this big mistake and I'm a hundred percent sure I'll never make a mistake like this again. It's going to make a better person from here on out.''
Alford didn't specify exactly what the indefinite suspensions mean, saying only that the three players would have to earn their way back onto the team.
