Conmebol’s Dominguez apologises for ‘Tarzan without Cheetah’ comment
March 19 – Conmebol president Alejandro Dominguez has apologised for saying that the Copa Libertadores without Brazilian teams would be like “Tarzan without Cheetah” after a club official had suggested teams could withdraw due to racism.
Palmeiras president Leila Pereira said Brazilian clubs should consider pulling out of South American competitions due to the lack of strong sanctions against racism following an incident involving one of the team’s Under-20 players.
Cheetah was a chimpanzee character in the Tarzan films and television series.
