Andriy Shevchenko: "If an arbitrator does not pass a polygraph, he will not return to work"

UAF President Andriy Shevchenko said that from now on, football referees in Ukraine will be subjected to polygraph tests.

"We see the polygraph as an opportunity to obtain additional information to understand which referees we can work with and which we cannot.

The effectiveness of this method has been confirmed to me by security officials and representatives of companies that use this technology. Therefore, if an arbitrator fails to pass a polygraph, he or she will not return to work.

Will past cases be checked? No, not the past ones. We are starting from scratch," Shevchenko said in an interview with Tribuna.com.
