Timbers Terminate Contract of Andy Polo

February 10, 2022 - Major League Soccer (MLS)
Portland Timbers News Release


The Portland Timbers have terminated the contract of midfielder Andy Polo following allegations this week of domestic abuse, the club announced today.

The Timbers were previously aware of a dispute between Andy Polo and his partner on May 23, 2021, that resulted in the Washington County Sherriff's Office citing Polo for harassment. That citation was not subsequently pursued by the victim or the prosecutor's office.

We deeply regret not suspending Polo immediately, especially considering the troubling new details of abuse that surfaced this week. It was a failure on our part, and one that will never happen again.

If you are experiencing domestic violence, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or go to thehotline.org. All calls are toll free and confidential. The hotline is available 24/7 in more than 170 languages.
