In 2005, he joined Rapid Bucureşti along with Apoula Edel by unilaterally terminated his contract without just reason. Pyunik FC submitted the case to FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber, which the DRC passed a decision on 4 April 2007 and sent the decision to the parties on 3 August, which Lombé was ordered to pay Pyunik US$15,000. He also claimed he was forced to naturalise in the court as an excuse to leave the country in 2005. The parties submitted the appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport and CAS partially upheld the DRC decision and increased the fee to US$25,000 in 2008.
