Spanish federation chief quits
Print Edition
SPANISH tennis federation (RFET) president Jose Luis Escanuela opted to stand down yesterday, one day after he was suspended for failing to cooperate in a government probe into the organization’s finances.
The decision, announced in a statement published in the Marca sports daily, comes after Spain’s disciplinary committee for sports suspended Escanuela indefinitely over what the government sports council (CSD) called “a complete lack of collaboration” on requests for information.
The CSD has also clashed with Escanuela over the appointment last year of Gala Leon as Spain’s first female Davis Cup captain, a decision which alienated top players such as Rafael Nadal and David Ferrer.
Nadal, Ferrer and 42 other high-profile figures in Spanish tennis this week issued a statement that hit out at general poor organization along with a lack of transparency at the RFET.
