Former Rapid goalkeeper and current FC Argeş president Dani Coman revealed that **club leadership was aware of—and even participated in—alcohol consumption in Rapid’s dressing room**, contradicting earlier claims that only players and coaches tolerated it[4]. Coman described the controversy as a **poorly orchestrated plot to tarnish Cristi Săpunaru’s image and push out the iconic captain**[4]. Săpunaru himself denies wrongdoing and has taken legal action against Rapid for damaging his reputation amid the “beer in the locker room” scandal[1][2][3].
This explosive insider testimony exposes deep club dysfunction and management-player conflicts that culminated in one of Rapid’s most turbulent off-field crises, potentially impacting team unity and future leadership stability.
