Dear President Vizer,
Based upon the controversy created by your personal positions versus the IOC the International Racquetball Federation respectfully suspends its membership in SportAccord until this situation is resolved between you and the IOC.
We do not believe that the positions that you have stated represent the views of the IRF or the majority of the International Federations who are members of Sport Accord.
The IRF has been a loyal member of SportAccord and its original Organization GAISF since 1982 and finds this action necessary under the events that are unfolding.
The IRF applauds the IOC’s and President Thomas Bach’s 20/20 reforms which have changed the landscape of sport for the International Federations in a positive way.
We trust that this serious issue will soon be resolved in a positive manner in the near future.
Regards,
Osvaldo Maggi
