Ivan "crickeyyy" Havrylov and Dmytro "jackast" Pashchenko have released a joint statement denying the accusations from ALGO and explaining their stance on the polygraph scandal.

According to the players, the decision to undergo a polygraph test was entirely voluntary, as they had no contractual obligations in this regard. They emphasize that they agreed to the testing without hesitation:

Undergoing the polygraph was our voluntary decision since we have nothing to hide. We had no contractual obligation to take the polygraph – we were simply presented with the fact.

 

The players also stated that they have yet to receive the full official results of the test. According to them, the team's management only sent "individual screenshots of responses," and the promised official document was never provided.

In their statement, crickeyyy and jackast note that they had doubts from the test's organization stage. They requested to take the polygraph at another center but were refused:

We were told that it was impossible elsewhere because “we work under contract with specific specialists.” This raised suspicions since the polygraph examiner seemed like an interested party, and getting the "desired" results is very easy.

 

Additionally, the players highlight that there were no mentions of a "security service" responsible for organizing the procedure in their contracts.

According to the players, even before taking the test, they were promised that the results would remain within the club and not be made public. They cite this as the main contradiction in ALGO's position:

Why weren’t new players tested with a polygraph immediately before signing if "everyone went through it"? If this is truly "reputation protection," why bring your assumptions to public platforms?

 

They also added that even before the test, representatives of the coaching staff discussed the need to "shake up the media space again," which, in their opinion, indicates the organization's intention to create an informational scandal.

In the conclusion of their statement, crickeyyy and jackast emphasize that they have complete correspondence with management, screenshots of messages, and other evidence supporting their case. According to them, the club's main goal was not an honest resolution of the situation but a media effect:

It seems the organization just needs hype: twenty player changes in six months were not enough for them.

 

The players declared that they are ready to defend their reputation and have publicly provided this official rebuttal.
