Bulgarian international defender Nikolai Domakinov has been fined by the president of his club, Botev Plovdiv, for failing to congratulate his team mates on their 3-1 win over Belasitsa Petrich on Saturday, Reuters reported. Club president Dimitar Hristolov fined Domakinov, who had watched the game from the stands because of illness, 1,000 levs ($650) for "showing no respect to his team mates". Domakinov, 26, left the stadium before the end of the match because he had a temperature, incurring the wrath of Hristolov, who also banned him from training with the team. "I have no idea why Hristolov is behaving like this," said Domakinov, who has a year left on his contract and has refused to sign an extension. "I want to fulfil my contract with Botev. This is the club where I began my playing career." "I don't want to say a bad word about the president but if he's going to treat me like this I'll come into my rights soon." Domakinov's illness also cost him the chance of making the Bulgaria squad for Tuesday's friendly against Wales in Swansea. Botev finished just above the relegation zone in the Bulgarian premier league last season but had enjoyed a much better start this season with an away draw and a home win in the first two games. "I've already informed Bulgaria coach Hristo Stoichkov and my agent about this unpleasant situation and I really hope that the problems will be solved soon," added Domakinov.
