The withdrawal of 5 points was confirmed to the chagrin of the Cevennes leaders. “We feel like we haven’t been heard. I didn’t feel like I was on the appeal board. I saw myself again on December 6. However, the specialist lawyer had prepared a solid 12-page file. Five points, it’s as if we had committed a fraud “, regrets Philippe Mallaroni, general manager of the club who went to Paris this morning with President Didier Bilange. The OAC is determined not to stop there and has challenged this decision legally. “We have 15 days to contact the CNOSF (National and Olympic Committee for French Sport) and we will do it! At least we will be facing real professional judges.concludes Philippe Mallaroni.
