BERLIN - The referee who attempted suicide hours before a Bundesliga game this weekend is has been released from a hospital.
German soccer's governing body said Monday that Babak Rafati's condition has improved. Rafati's lawyer told the Deutscher Fussball Bund the 41-year-old referee will continue with inpatient treatment for an undetermined period of time.
Rafati was found bleeding in his hotel bathtub before he was due to take charge of a game between Cologne and Mainz. The match rescheduled for Dec. 13.
The DFB said Rafati requested "peace and quiet" and that he "now needs, above all, time and patience."
