David Lappartient was present this Thursday at the general embly of the CNOSF. As long as Brigitte Henriques was president, the boss of the Union Cycliste Internationale refused to talk about a possible candidacy. The president of the authority having resignedhe spoke on the subject, starting by paying tribute to the resigner.
“I have always said that I am not a candidate for anything, clarified the IOC member. Today I exercise mandates that fill my days, that suit me well. On the other hand, I am a servant of the sports movement and it is true that the situation was such that the president made a decision today that honors her. When you are a sports leader, what should drive us is to know how we are able to federate, unite, bring back serenity. Brigitte Henriques decided that the best solution was for her to resign. This was respected and approved by the general embly. I salute this desire of Brigitte to ensure that appeat is in order in a year that is going to be an Olympic year. »
“I am at the disposal of my colleagues but I think that whoever will be in charge of leading the NOC must receive a form of consensus, if not unanimity”
“It didn’t escape me either that my name circulated without me being a candidate, continues the one who is also president of the departmental council of Morbihan. First Brigitte is in office until June 29th. It will be up to the secretary general in his time to convene a meeting of the board of directors which will have to elect a president from among its members. We will see then. I am at the disposal of my colleagues but I think that whoever will be in charge of leading the NOC must receive a form of consensus, if not unanimity. A broad consensus to lead the NOC calmly, serenely and unitedly in the times to come. It was not my first ambition. It still isn’t. If I can be of service to the Olympic family, I am ready to study the situation, but as long as it is the subject of a consensus. And maybe there are also other candidates who can meet these conditions. , »
