Renzo Garces, 'rimense' defender who was involved in the controversy over doping control in Cusco, sees his possible suspension in a positive way. The defender knows that he could miss up to ten matches with Sporting Cristal, according to the rules of the Apertura Tournament.

"The suspension of the match does not affect us. The group is working the same. Yesterday we played practice games with the rest of the Sporting Cristal squad. We wanted to play against Alianza Lima, but the rest is also useful," said Renzo Garces.

The suspension of Renzo Garces and Mauricio Viana is almost a fact. However, the Sporting Cristal defender currently has no information from the club and said that the complaint made by Alianza Lima "is their problem, because we have a clear conscience," concluded the 'cervecero' defender.

They do not lose their rhythm. With no football activity over the weekend, the entire Sporting Cristal team gathered in groups yesterday morning to play two practice matches and do tactical work. The match between the first team and the substitutes ended in a 3-3 draw. In the second match, the starting lineup defeated the reserves 3-1.

Finally, with no scheduled date to play, all the Sporting Cristal players will have the day off so they can spend Father's Day with their families. They will resume training tomorrow, already thinking about the match against Melgar from Arequipa and waiting for the rescheduling of the clash with Alianza Lima.

It is worth mentioning that the Sporting Cristal board issued a statement clarifying that the club is not at fault for the suspension of the match against Alianza Lima. The letter delivered to the media states that since June 1st, the security plan that was going to be implemented this afternoon had already been approved.

On the other hand, it was clarified from the Sporting Cristal store that the reasons why the match was suspended made no sense, since the construction works that prevented the game at the Alberto Gallardo stadium have been taking place for four years and have never caused any problems. The celestes played several matches in their fortress without any inconvenience, and they ensured that the match should have been played against Alianza Lima.
