05 August 2020If the sports reform is not approved, "the international consequences are safe and immediate. There is no possibility that the International Olympic Committee will not intervene. We are kidding with fire: we have reached the limit, rather the IOC he also waited too long. "

So the president of the CONI, Giovanni Malagò, at the end of the Junta, who adds: "Moreover, Italy would not be the first and not the last: many countries, despite the IOC warnings, did not want to apply the dictates of the Charter Olympic and have been sanctioned. "

For Italy it would be a source of pain, a great defeat, stresses the president of the Coni. What sanctions are you referring to? "You have to ask the top of the IOC, but the Charter is clear. My hope is that everything can be resolved with a text that is satisfactory for all parties".

Malagò then specified that the Department wanted and created by Minister Spadafora "is absolutely not a problem for the IOC, indeed it is what happens in many countries. The anomaly is dictated by Sport and Health: such a situation does not exist in any part of the world. "

The reform expected for more than a year and a half
"Nobody could imagine being in this context," said the president of the CONI at a press conference. As for Coni, I say it with serenity and firmness, we are exactly from the end of 2018 that we have been waiting for the decrees of what was a law and not a reform, something dropped that did not have the practical aspects. A year and 8 months have passed to date, and it is incredible that we are still in this situation.

"" It would be an absolute defeat for the country and a sensational loss of credibility after having trusted the organization of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympics We are not bluffing, we are literally joking with fire. And we have arrived ", concluded Malagò.

Postponement in September
The reform of sport slips in all probability in September. In the background the clash inside the M5S: the letter sent on Tuesday by the board asking the sports minister Spadafora to stop had as a consequence, a tightening of positions: also in the press release issued by the members of the Culture, Education and Sport commissions of Palazzo Madama, the minister is defended but he is invited to keep the system of the provision adopted during the previous yellow-green government, in which he was reduced the role of the Coni, with the 'no' to the third term in Malagò and more power to the 'Sport and Health' structure.
