Estelle Mossely appeared before the CNOSF on Monday after the rejection of her list for president of the French Boxing Federation. The former Olympic champion, aged 32, still hopes to be able to run against Dominique Nato, the outgoing president. In the meantime, she denounces the obstacles put in her way.
Estelle Mossely is not giving up. The former fighter was heard on Monday by the CNOSF, with whom she lodged an appeal after the invalidation of her list as president of the French Boxing Federation (FFB). His opposition candidacy against Dominique Nato, the outgoing president, was rejected in mid-November by the FFB Electoral Surveillance Commission, on the grounds that a person on its list had an invalid license. Nothing to discourage the 2016 Olympic champion, who today denounces the obstacles put in her way.
“There are spokes in the wheels,” Estelle Mossely told RMC Sport during a meeting organized Tuesday in Saint-Ouen (Seine-Saint-Denis). “I find these methods very limiting, especially in sport, compared to all the values they convey. What I find above all is that we are moving away from the subject. The subject is boxing This is what will be proposed to boxers, to coaches, to clubs. How we will succeed in integrating the committees into our policy, in our desire to advance the discipline. I think that these should be the only discussions of a campaign. . Except that we talk about everything, except about That.”
“I am being prevented from campaigning”
“People who want change are there too,” continued the 32-year-old leader. “For several months that I have been traveling, those who wanted to continue to carry out the policy that has been put in place have been a minority. This is perhaps also why I am being prevented from leading the campaign, because we feel the trend is reversing. I helped to bring this to light. It’s perhaps something that already existed but people weren’t speaking out, because they weren’t being allowed to express themselves.”
Estelle Mossely believes that French boxing now needs new blood to continue to develop: “We pass on the role of the presidency, I’m not going to say from generation to generation, but we always find the right arrangements so that it there is no opposition. It is a bit of a novelty that there is opposition. People are happy and I hope that we will position ourselves as an exemplary federation in this campaign. coming days, because a single party, It’s more synonymous with dictatorship than democracy. That’s a fact.”
