World Aquatics Appoints Stabilization Committee for Tunisian Swimming Federation<\/strong><\/p>\n

World Aquatics announced on Thursday that is has named a stabilization committee to lead the Tunisian Swimming Federation.<\/p>\n

The World Aquatics executive committee met on Tuesday to discuss how to aid the Federation Tunisienne de Natation (FTN) after its board was dissolved by the president of the country<\/a>. Mohamed Zribi<\/strong> will chair the committee, and Maha Zaoui<\/strong> is listed as the point of contact.<\/p>\n

From the statement<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Stabilization Committee will run all day-to-day operations of the Tunisian Swimming Federation, conduct the proper and necessary amendments to the national federation\u2019s Constitution, and organise and conduct a new election within six months.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cActivated in the best interests of all Tunisian athletes, the Stabilization Committee will ensure that the Tunisian Swimming Federation adheres to the highest standards of good governance and transparency.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The FTN board was dissolved with that of the Tunisian Anti-Doping Organization, ANAD, and some of its leaders jailed last week. The president of Tunisia took umbrage that, as the country was ruled non-compliant by the World Anti-Doping Agency in implementing modifications from 2021 to its code, it couldn\u2019t fly the Tunisian flag at a swim meet in Tunis. When officials followed the directives of WADA, they were dismissed and jailed.<\/p>\n

WADA has since removed ANAD from its non-compliant list<\/a>, a move that is retroactive to a date before the swim meet that escalated this controversy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
