NOW IN BLACK AMERICAN SLANG
😱⚽🌍 An Unresolved Mystery: How Two Women’s World Cup Dreams Were Shattered
Yo, check this out, fam! We got a crazy story goin’ on. Aminata Diallo was gettin’ escorted from a nasty-smellin’ jail cell to an interview room in Hôtel de Police in Versailles when she first heard the name Tonya Harding.
Now, y’all know Tonya Harding, right? She was a famous ice skater from the U.S. who got caught up in some serious drama back in ’94, ‘fore the Winter Olympics. Some unknown dude attacked her main competition, Nancy Kerrigan, right before the games. It was a whole mess, with accusations flyin’ and headlines buzzin’. They even made a movie ’bout it! But to Diallo, a 28-year-old French soccer player, the mention of Harding’s name – “You know Tonya Harding?” – just left her confused. 🤨
But lemme tell ya, Diallo was ’bout to find out why the police was askin’ ’bout Harding. 🕵️♀️
See, in France, they thought somethin’ similar went down with Kheira Hamraoui, Diallo’s teammate at Paris St.-Germain. One cold night in November 2021, Hamraoui got snatched outta Diallo’s car and attacked, just like Kerrigan. The attacker aimed for her legs, tryna mess up her chances of playin’. It was messed up, man! 😱💔
But get this, it took almost a year and another round of lockup for Diallo before the cops accused her for real. Last September, they hit her with charges of aggravated assault for the attack on Hamraoui. The French media leaked docs claimin’ Diallo planned the whole thing. They say she wanted to get rid of her rival so she could secure her spot on the lineup for P.S.G., one of the top teams in women’s soccer, and the French national team, which is expected to kill it at the Women’s World Cup startin’ on July 20. 📜⚖️⚽
Diallo straight up denied it, though. She said, “A lotta folks wanna believe I did it, but that ain’t the truth. Tonya Harding did it, not me.” 🙅♀️
Now, this case got all the ingredients for a good story: scandal from way back when, race issues, rivalry between pros, and a bunch of shady characters. No wonder it’s got everybody hooked, and there’s even talk ’bout different documentaries goin’ head-to-head.
But here’s the thing, y’all. Diallo’s still stuck in limbo, with nobody knowin’ if she guilty or innocent since that morning in the police station. They ain’t even set a date for the trial yet. But the consequences, they still ripple through everyone involved.
Friendships got ruined, a marriage fell apart. Two teams got split up. Diallo got kicked outta Paris, man. And Hamraoui, she ain’t farin’ much better. Some of her teammates turned their backs on her, and she got forced outta her club.
The cops, they think they got a solid case with text messages from Diallo, sketchy internet searches, and one of the dudes charged with the attack claimin’ he did it for her, even though she ain’t give him the order directly.
But Diallo and her lawyers, they say it’s all a bunch of desperate moves from the cops. They tryna get convictions in a high-profile case with weak connections and unreliable sources.
Diallo, she sees them documentary offers as a way to make up for all she lost – her privacy, her reputation as a decent soccer player, and the almost guaranteed contract with P.S.G. that she was ’bout to sign before the attack ruined her life and career.
She said, “They find it interestin’, whether I’m guilty or not.” That’s what Diallo thinks ’bout them filmmakers comin’ at her. 🎥🎬
Now, them charges she facin’ – three counts of aggravated assault and criminal assault – came after her second stint in lockup. They slapped her with a restraining order too, stoppin’ her from goin’ back to Paris or even talkin’ to her old teammates from P.S.G. That’s why she ended up in Spain, chillin’ at a beachside joint in Valencia, munchin’ on patatas bravas and garlic shrimp. She only got a short deal to play for Levante, and that’s all done now. 🚫🛑🇪🇸
Hamraoui ain’t with P.S.G. no more either. They let her go after the season, no new contract for her. And that exit, it wasn’t smooth. She accused the club of isolatin’ her and treatin’ her different from the others. She felt like a victim all over again.
She wrote in a book that got published in L’Equipe, “Not only did I go through that traumatic night, but I also faced indifference, cruelty, and straight-up abuse. The team don’t even talk to me no more, and P.S.G.’s only goal is to get me out ASAP. They treat me like I’m contagious or somethin’.” 😔🔥⚽
In Spain, Diallo’s life got scaled down. Apart from trainin’, she spent most of her time alone in some rented apartment. (P.S.G., owned by Qatar, gave her a crib and wheels, the same wheels involved in the attack.) Her performance on the new team wasn’t top-notch, and she mostly played as a sub. She was grateful for the opportunity, though.
She said, “It’s been hard gettin’ back to the top level. I lost the joy of playin’. I’m out here ballin’ in the face of injustice.” 😔⚽💔
Diallo, she’s swearin’ she been done wrong, claimin’ she’s a victim in the whole Hamraoui mess. But the French investigators, they point fingers at her and say she’s the mastermind.
Leaked info from their case got the media portrayin’ Diallo as the brains behind the attack. The dudes who carried it out supposedly told the cops they thought they was doin’ Diallo’s dirty work. Diallo was drivin’ the whip when they intercepted it, and they snatched Hamraoui out and beat her with an iron bar. They found text messages from Diallo dissin’ Hamraoui after they snatched her phone and computer, along with searches for stuff like “breakin’ a kneecap” and “deadly cocktail of drugs.”
Last November, Diallo sat down for an interview at her lawyers’ spot in Paris. This was right after they formally charged her. She tried to explain herself. She said the cops ignored all the good things she said ’bout Hamraoui to her friends and peeps. She also said them searches ain’t nothin’ strange for an athlete worried ’bout injuries and health.
NOW IN ENGLISH
😱⚽🌍 An Unresolved Mystery: How Two Women’s World Cup Dreams Were Shattered
Aminata Diallo was being led from her unpleasant-smelling holding cell to an interview room inside the Hôtel de Police in Versailles when she first heard the name Tonya Harding.
Harding’s name is infamous in the world of sports, of course. A decorated American figure skater, she was at the center of a notorious case involving the assault of her main rival only weeks before the 1994 Winter Olympics. The scandal – a sudden and violent attack by an unknown man; accusations and denials; tabloid headlines – garnered worldwide attention and eventually led to a feature-length movie about Harding. But to Diallo, a 28-year-old French soccer player being led up the stairs of the police station, the mention of Harding’s name – “Have you heard of Tonya Harding?” – only elicited a blank stare. 🤨
However, Diallo would soon learn that the police had good reason to ask. 🕵️♀️
Harding’s rival, Nancy Kerrigan, had been attacked by a man who struck her legs in an attempt to prevent her from competing. Now, in France, a generation later, the police suspected a similar motive in the attack on Kheira Hamraoui, Diallo’s teammate at the French club Paris St.-Germain. Hamraoui had been forcibly removed from Diallo’s car on a cold November night in 2021 and, like Kerrigan, was assaulted with blows to her legs in an apparent attempt to cause injury. 😱💔
It would take almost a year and another stint in custody for Diallo before the officer’s casual question turned into a formal accusation. Last September, prosecutors charged Diallo with aggravated assault in the attack on Hamraoui. Documents and leaks to the French media have accused Diallo of orchestrating a premeditated attack. The goal, according to that theory, was to eliminate a rival for a spot in the lineup at P.S.G., one of the best teams in women’s soccer, and on the roster of the French national team, which will be among the favorites at the Women’s World Cup, set to begin on July 20. 📜⚖️⚽
“Many people may want to believe it’s me, but that’s not the reality,” Diallo said in an interview in Spain, where she had been trying to resurrect her career. “Tonya Harding did it, not me.” 🙅♀️
With its echoes of a decades-old scandal, its themes of race and professional rivalry, and its cast of elite women athletes and shadowy figures, it’s no wonder that the case continues to captivate attention and has given rise to competing documentary projects.
Today, Diallo’s guilt or innocence is no clearer than it was on that morning in the police station in Versailles. A trial date has yet to be announced. However, the consequences of the case continue to reverberate.
Friendships have been severed, a marriage has dissolved. Two teams’ locker rooms have been divided. Diallo has been banished from Paris. Hamraoui, too, has become an outcast in her own way, alienated by some of her teammates and eventually forced out of her club.
The police’s case appears to rest on text messages sent by Diallo, suspicious internet searches, and the claim of at least one of the men charged in the assault that he was acting on behalf of Diallo, even though he admitted that the order did not come directly from her.
Diallo and her legal team maintain that the charges are the actions of a desperate police force looking to secure convictions in a high-profile case, built on flimsy connections and untrustworthy sources.
Diallo sees the offers to make a documentary as a form of compensation for all that she has lost – her privacy, her anonymity as a solid but unspectacular soccer professional, and the near-certain contract with P.S.G. that she claims was within her grasp before the attack altered the course of her career and life.
“I believe they find it interesting, whether I am guilty or not,” Diallo said of the filmmakers who have approached her. 🎥🎬
The charges she faces – three counts of aggravated assault and criminal assault – came after her second period of detention and were accompanied by a restraining order preventing her from entering Paris or interacting with her former teammates on P.S.G. That was how she found herself in Spain this spring, enjoying patatas bravas and garlic shrimp at a beachside restaurant in Valencia, her career only salvaged by a short-term deal to play for Levante, which has now concluded. 🚫🛑🇪🇸
Hamraoui has also left P.S.G.; she was released at the end of the season after not being offered a new contract. Her departure was not without controversy: On her way out, she accused the club of ostracizing her and treating her differently from her teammates, suggesting that she was once again being victimized.
“In addition to the trauma I experienced that night, I faced indifference, cruelty, and a form of abuse,” Hamraoui wrote in a recently published book that has been serialized in the French sports newspaper L’Equipe. “The team no longer speaks to me, and P.S.G. has one objective: for me to leave as quickly as possible. They treat me like a victim of the plague.” 😔🔥⚽
In Spain, Diallo’s life became a scaled-down version of what it once was. Besides training sessions, she spent most of her time alone in a rented apartment. (P.S.G., owned by Qatar, had provided her with a home and car, the same car involved in the attack.) She did not excel on her new team and often played as a substitute, a role she was grateful for and accepted.
“I’ve found it difficult to reach the top level,” she said as the season drew to a close. “I’ve lost the joy of playing. I’m playing in the face of injustice.” 😔⚽💔
Diallo maintains that she has been wronged, that she, too, is a victim in the Hamraoui affair. French investigators, however, assert that she is at the center of the conspiracy.
Details of their case, leaked to the French media, portray Diallo as the mastermind behind the attack on Hamraoui. The men charged with carrying out the assault reportedly told the police that they believed they were acting on Diallo’s behalf. Diallo was driving the car when it was intercepted, and Hamraoui was forcibly removed and assaulted with an iron bar. Text messages from Diallo disparaging Hamraoui were discovered after the police seized her phone and computer, as were online searches for phrases like “breaking a kneecap” and “deadly cocktail of drugs.”
In an interview last November at her lawyers’ offices in Paris, shortly after being formally charged, Diallo offered explanations. She argued that the police had ignored all the positive things she had said about Hamraoui to her friends and associates. She also claimed that the online searches were not unusual for an athlete concerned with injuries and health.
