While the French team of volley-ball is in preparation for the Olympic Games in Mulhouse, Leo Meyer 24-year-old Alsatian player playing at Nantes-Rezé, told us that he had to choose between this internship and BTS tests that he had not been able to arrange. The rectorate refusing any arrangement despite the documents provided by the staff of the France team, according to the young volleyball player. A shame for a sportsman selected in a team qualified for the olympic games in Tokyo.
He was considering writing a letter to Sports Minister Roxana Maracineanu to alert him to his difficulties. We mentioned this situation in a report broadcast on Friday on France Bleu Alsace.
The message and the appeal were heard all the way to the Elysee Palace, which promises to intervene with the government to resolve the situation. Emmanuel Macron’s sports advisor, Cyril Mourin gave us an unambiguous response to this effect.
“The President discovered this situation through your article and called on the government to regularize the situation as soon as possible ».
That should delight the Meyer family of Ammerschwhir (Haut-Rhin) and Leo of course, now more serene in the French team. He took part in the internship of the tricolor team in Mulhouse from 12 to 23 May before joining Rimini in Italy where France must compete. the League of Nations volleyball.
This should also encourage the national education to have a little more discernment in the organization of the examinations of high level athletes.
