The Secretary General of the Athletics Federation, Saleh Mohamed Hassan, denied that he had complained about a government intervention or the temporary president of the Federation, Sahar Al-Abed, to the International Federation for the game, noting that "there is no word about health."
He told «Emirates Today»: «The period of Al Obad’s term of office ends on February 10, but she addressed the International Federation for the game, without the members’ knowledge, and informed him to stop the former President of the Federation Ahmed Kamali locally from practicing any activity in the game for life, to be considered As president of the federation until the fifth of next October, which later pushed us to demand that the stamp and the email password be delivered. ”
For her part, Al-Obed refused to comment on the statement of the Federation’s Secretary, and told Al-Emarat Al-Youm: “I have no comment .. I pray for him success.”
In the details, Saleh Mohamed Hassan said: “We received a letter from a Swiss lawyer, in his capacity as legal adviser to former union president Ahmed Kamali, asking us for clarification on what the Athletics Federation sent to its international counterpart, to suspend Kamali for life, and to choose the General Assembly for Magic of Obad as president of the federation, and threatened us By taking legal measures against the UAE federation if we do not respond to these points within 10 days. ”
Speeches of Al-Obed with the International Federation spread on social media sites, in which the latter approved the head of the local union until next October, as well as the letter sent by Saleh Mohamed Hassan to the International Federation inquiring about the Kamali position regarding the life-long suspension of any activity related to athletics locally. It clarifies the fact that Al Obad assumed the presidency of the Federation.
The Secretary of the Federation of Forces explained: “We discovered that it was Sahar Al-Abed who addressed the International Federation without the knowledge of the Federation’s Board of Directors, taking advantage of the existence of the secret number of the Federation’s e-mail only to it, and informed the officials of the International Federation that it is the elected President of the Union and that Kamali is suspended for life, and when we asked Including a response to what was stated in the letter of Kamali's lawyer, she refused, and this is why we turned to the International Federation.
He continued: «We addressed the International Federation on three clear and specific points, the first: Inquiring about Ahmed Kamali’s position and whether there is a penalty issued against him for life-long suspension or not, and the second point: clarifying Sahar Al-Obed’s position in the Athletics Federation, and that she currently holds the position of deputy The president of the federation, and she performs the powers of the president until February 10, and the third point: The UAE federation gave three months to send the technical report on the Federation's activities for the year 2019, after the federation reached an official letter from the International Federation on the e-mail, and we were not informed of it, after it became The magic of slaves, the only knowledgeable of pain Official clerks who arrive at the federation.
The Secretary-General stressed that “the mission of Sahar Al-Abed as a list of the president’s activities ends on February 10, according to the agreement that he signed, which stipulates that the union’s president works until that date, then Rashid Al-Jarbi takes over until the position of the consultant Ahmed Kamali is clarified. "The president of the federation is elected, or until the elections are held in the summer of this year."
He continued: “Al-Obad is not the president of the union by a decision of the general assembly, or by election. Rather, it came in a consensual manner for a specified period. This is a fact approved by the official papers and signed by and witnesses from the general assembly. The members of the Board of Directors reached it in the presence of members of the General Assembly of the Federation, but it has not yet responded to the demands of the Board of Directors.
He added: “The failure of Al-Obed to respond to what was stated in the agreement to end its work as a temporary president for the federation after 10 days is something that would increase the size of the problems within the federation, because it is proven by the facts that there are external hands that move matters within the federation for personal interests, and that hinders the progress of the game, Otherwise, what shall we explain the request of Obed unilaterally from the Public Authority for Sports to appoint two new persons to the membership of the Federation, without informing the rest of the members of the Council of that, and to determine the extent of the legality of that procedure or not ».
He concluded: "I invite everyone who wants to be in the Athletics Federation chair to wait for the elections and present himself to the General Assembly. If she sees that he is fit for this position, he should be qualified for it, but dealing with the federation in that position will undoubtedly affect the future of the game."
