This seems harsh on every level

http://www.worldsoccer.com/news/max-kruse-leaves-e75000-poker-winnings-in-a-taxi-and-is-then-fined-e25000-by-his-club-369237

Wolfsburg have fined forward Max Kruse the €25,000 after he accidentally left poker winnings amounting to €75,000 in the back of a taxi.

According to Bild, Kruse won the money at a World Series Poker tournament in Berlin back in mid-October after playing against Hoffenheim the previous day. The forward is no slouch at the poker table, picking uo a number of cashes and coming close to winning a World Series of Poker Bracelet in Las Vegas in 2014.

After realising he had left the cash in the back of the taxi, Kruse contacted the police. However, the money is yet to be returned.

Wolfsburg’s sporting executive Klaus Allofs reminded the player that as a professional footballer, he has certain duties and obligations.

“You might be a private person as a footballer when you are in your bed,” he said. “At any other point, you are also an employee of the club.

“We have explained to him what sort of behaviour we expect from our players.

“I can only hope that he has been taught a lesson and will change his behaviour.

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

Thats outrageous!

Clearly Barca dont feel the same about Pokerstars using Neymar as an ambassador!

Plus, clearly this guy has a fair amount for cash, but who forgets or leaves 75k in a taxi!

Not a taxi but...

Fun start to the trip. 30 minutes into the taxi journey to the airport I realise I've left $50,000+ on my window shelf at home and not only need this for the trip but the cleaner was due in 30 minutes who i don't know nor trust. Inform confused taxi driver we have to turn around. Get back, I get the money, say bye to the cleaner on the way out and change into trousers from the shorts I was wearing.

I get back into the taxi, money hidden obviously and the taxi driver looks at my trousers as if "are you fucking joking met?" I can only smile in response and he was pretty tilted.
