Vienna/Baden – At the Austria Top 12 table tennis tournament in Baden on Sunday, professionals protested against the leadership of the national association ÖTTV. As athlete spokesman Daniel Habesohn told the APA, several athletes are not taking part in the local elite tournament because of the allegations reported by STANDARD against ÖTTV President Wolfgang Gotschke and sports director Stefan Fegerl. Measures are also required by the Presidential Conference to protect athletes.
