The media conflict continues. During a “face to the readers” of Midi Libre this Wednesday, January 10, Bernard Laporte responded to the comments of Amélie Oudéa-Castéra.
On Sunday, the Minister of Sports affirmed on RMC during the program “Bartoli Time” that “under her presidency (at the French Rugby Federation), the French presence (on the international scene) has declined”. At the same time, she highlighted the work of Florian Grill, current director of the institution.
“It is essential to have an influence at the heart of global and European sports bodies,” insisted Amélie Oudéa-Castéra. I can recall that it was under his presidency that the French presence declined. We were largely absent in the early stages of the Nations Cup file when we had to watch out for the problems of duplicates with the Top 14. We could have weighed or influenced the course of things. Florian Grill mobilized enormously to rebuild lots of bonds of trust that had been damaged during these months of 2022,” she explained.

“When I hear the minister say that with me, we went downhill… Before I arrived, we were nothing. I became vice-president of the Six Nations, of the international federation and overnight, we are nothing,” replied the former president of the French Rugby Federation.
“I wouldn’t vote for her”
Sunday, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra also took the opportunity to comment on the recent arrival of Bernard Laporte as sports director of the Montpellier club, a little over a year after his two-year suspended prison sentence for corruption, trafficking of influence, illegal taking of interests, abuse of corporate assets, concealment of abuse of corporate assets and for which the manager appealed.
“Was Montpellier the best choice? I’m not sure, she asked. To the extent that there are, in his links with Altrad, elements which were highlighted by the judge with facts of corruption in their relationship with both. »
Nothing to worry or disturb Laporte. “I was there before her (at the Ministry of Sports), he told readers of Midi Libre. In three years, no one will talk about her anymore, I know the story (laughs). They forget that they are passing through. Apparently she’s ambitious. She would see herself as President of the Republic. I won’t vote for her, I’ll tell you that straight away (laughs). »
