Álex González points out that former president of the COE Augusto Morán asked them for documents to distort the intervention and then he did not even answer the phone.
In the administration of Andrea Sotomayor What Secretary of Sport, in the government of Lenin Moreno, the Ecuadorian Boxing Federation (FEB) and the action was justified, supposedly, because the president Alex Gonzalez could not be re-elected, according to the Secretariat, since he already had two terms in a row and that disqualified him according to the Sports Law.
The manager, who is not recognized by the Ecuadorian Olympic Committee (COE) nor by the Ministry of Sports, but yes because of the International Amateur Boxing (IBA), points out that “there are two years of intervention where it has been possible to demonstrate that it was an act of pure persecution”.
González, who heads the organization of the Continental Boxing Championship, which will be held in Guayaquil next March, indicates that he has had contact with the Legal Department of the Ministry of Sports. “We met on December 17 via virtual with the FEB controller, the President of the American Boxing Confederation and the lawyer Jose Antonio Fabara, on behalf of the Ministry of Sports. We were asked to present, again, the supporting documentation, we did it again, there are about 600 sheets where the download of the intervention points is recorded, showing that it was totally illegal ”.
On what proceeds now, the manager indicated: “We await the resolution of the Ministry of Sports and we are convinced that in the documentation they will realize the mistake made ”.
“They claimed that I had served the two periods mandated by the Law and could not access a third. It is true, according to the Law it is not possible, but I did not have two periods. My first choice was from 2015 to 2019. When there was the ill-fated intervention by the State in 2012, when José Francisco Cevallos was Minister of Sports, created a parallel FEB and recognized Patricio calero with all the legal, financial and administrative representation, and the FEB that I presided they did not recognize, so they make account of that period that, despite being the head, was not officially recognized by the Ministry of Sports and I had no legal representation”.
González points out that it was not until 2015 when there was an agreement with the International Boxing Federation and the Ministry of Sports made the choice and was elected for his first term until 2019. “According to the Sports Law, I have the right to a new period, until 2023, and that is my commitment. If our FEB is recognized, I will remain in office until that year because time is running out internationally regardless of whether or not they recognize me in Ecuador”.
President of the COE does not keep his word
The manager adds that the former president of the Ecuadorian Olympic Committee (CEO) Augusto Moran he was presented with the discharge documentation and, despite his promise to act legally, later he did not even answer the calls. “It is something that we do not understand. Before the Tokyo Olympics, the vice-president of the FEB, Guillermo Villagómez, met with President Morán and he expressed that there was no interest in persecuting me and was only waiting for the resolution of the Ministry of Sports to recognize, and if the illegality of the intervention was shown to him, he would recognize our FEB ”.
“It was certified in the Ministry of Sports that I actually had a period. Then President Morán no longer answered calls and did not want to receive our vice president. There was no longer that dialogue of rapprochement, thinking that, perhaps, we did not have the discharge documents. We took his word for it and absolutely nothing happened. “
About the future of boxer Carlos Mina, who obtained an Olympic diploma at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games and was detained in the United States for two years, the leader points out: “He was one of the athletes who started the process in 2012, he achieved the world bronze medal in 2017. in Hamburg and we have the doors open for you to continue preparing with us”.
