Share this contentPARIS: Didier Gailhaguet, forced to resign from the French Ice Sports Federation in February because of a sexual assault scandal, is refusing to leave the French Olympic Committee, he said on in an email obtained by AFP on Thursday .
After a long reign at the head of French skating which he had chaired since 1998 to 2004 and from 2007, Gailhaguet, 66, was forced to resign at the beginning of February, under pressure from the Minister of Sports, Roxana Maracineanu. Beyer, the manager of the French national figure skating team was removed following an investigation by the sports ministry in 2000 but under Gailhaguet, was allowed to continue coaching at club level.Gailhaguet said in his message that he was forced to resign to save French skating by the threat of withdrawal of recognition brandished by Maracineanu, which he described as"an atomic weapon".
The CNOSF's ethics committee said in a memo on Apr 14 that the Olympic Committee"cannot unilaterally put an end" to Gailhaguet's term as a director, which is due to end on 29 June 2021 with the election of a new president and a new board of directors.
