Looks like  a lot of people hire thugs to handle business?

Moscow - The coach of Russian third division soccer side Metallurg Lipezk organized for three of his players to be beaten up by underworld thugs, local media reported on Thursday.

The subsequent attack saw the team captain, goalkeeper and a striker needing treatment in Lipezk's hospital, 350 kilometers south of Moscow, for serious injuries, including concussion.

The incident began when the coach and players each accused each other of having being "bought" after the team suffered two defeats in a row.

The upset coach then called the thugs to the training ground where one of them pulled a pistol and fired a rubber bullet at the arm of one of the players.

The coach has since been fired by the club management.

We all know some people would be tried in court at least three times!
