The Sultans of the Net defeated the USA 3-2 in Texas in their 8th match of the FIVB Volleyball Nations League (VNL).

Footage of a Turkish female spectator reflected on the cameras during the match broadcast became a trending topic on social media.

TRT, uncomfortable with the woman's cleavage appearing on screen, had issued an official statement on the matter.

While the statement argued that this was an 'unwanted' image, the responsibility was also placed on the US broadcaster. TRT's statement was as follows:

"Last night, an unwanted image appeared on the screen during the live broadcast of the match where our A National Women's Volleyball Team played against the host USA in their 8th match of the FIVB Volleyball Nations League (VNL).

This disturbing situation has been associated with our Institution in different channels and under a false perception.

We would like the public to know that the filming and direction of the match were carried out by the host US broadcaster. TRT Spor and all broadcasting channels airing the match reflected the images transmitted instantly by the US broadcaster without any possibility of intervention. Therefore, this image, which is completely contrary to our broadcasting policy, originated from the US broadcaster, and the discomfort felt regarding this situation has been conveyed to the other party.”

ACCESS BAN

Free Web Turkey, which announced the news of the access ban on social media, reported that an access ban decision was brought against this footage by TRT. The post included the following statements:

"An access ban has been imposed on news regarding the footage of a Turkish fan reflected on cameras during the match played by the Turkey A National Women's Volleyball Team against the USA Women's National Volleyball Team, with the decision of the Tekirdağ 2nd Criminal Judgeship of Peace dated June 5."
