The findings of Major League Soccer’s investigation into how the Portland Timbers handled the May 23, 202 incident of alleged domestic violence between Andy Polo and his estranged partner Genessis Alarcón have been released. The Timbers will be fined $25,000 for failing to properly report the incident, and according to the conclusions of the investigation, the failure to report was due to a lack of knowledge of league rules, and not an intentional cover-up.
The league’s investigation also concluded that the Timbers did not offer financial inducements to pressure Alarcón to not pursue criminal charges against Polo.
