The TAD files the sanction of the RFEK to kumite karatecas

End to the controversy of the Spanish kumite team with the Royal Spanish Karate Federation after the refusal to compete by the karatecas in the European in protest at the treatment received by several of the directors of the organization.

Marcos Martínez, Rodrigo Ibáñez, José Rafael Ibáñez and Alberto Delestal have published this Wednesday a statement in which they collect that the Administrative Court of Sport has given them reason after appealing the suspension imposed on them by the Disciplinary Committee of the Royal Spanish Federation of Karate. “The resolution of the matter, something that we already knew through the lawyers who advise us on this matter, is that the Royal Federation, in order to be able to harm us and that we suffer the greatest possible damages, it chose to infringe what is established in article 21 of Law 39/2015, of October 1, of the Common Administrative Procedure of Public Administrations, and decided to resolve the disciplinary file opened in front of us and two other colleagues, after the deadline, allowing more time to elapse than the Law establishes to be able to resolve this type of files, and thus keep us sanctioned and prevent our participation in different events and competitions “

The karate fighters assure that the Federation’s measure has affected them at all levels and that they will ask for compensation for the damages caused. “This situation has caused us harm at all levels. The first of them, personal, with the stain of our image and our good reputation. The second of them, professional, preventing the dispute of events that could have resulted in classifications for other championships even, in some particular case, in the Tokyo Olympic Games held this summer. And the third of them, economic, since the results of said competitions could have meant the entry in forms of prizes and advertising, in addition to having stopped receiving scholarships, aid and other types of benefits “.

Despite celebrating TAD’s decision, the karate men admit that there is still a long way to go for their situation to return to normal since, for example, they will not be able to compete in the next World Cup in Dubai. “The Administrative Court of Sport did not even have the opportunity to assess the merits of this file initiated in front of us, but declared the expiration of the procedure and the file of all the actions. From this point, unfortunately we will not be in the World Cup from Dubai, being ‘supposedly’ sports reasons that lead us not to be present despite the fact that, despite our individual rankings, they would have to lead us to be called up for the championship “.
