“Monitoring that Laporte completely leaves his function as president of the FFR”, Benazzi’s priority

The sleight of hand is not to everyone’s taste, and especially not to Abdelatif Benazzi, a member of a group of volunteers opposing the power in place. The former captain of the France team returns with virulence to the sequence which saw this Friday Patrick Buisson, the vice-president of the FFR in charge of amateur rugby, be appointed president-delegate by the federal office to replace Bernard Laporte . The latter was forced to withdraw after his conviction for corruption and influence peddling on December 13. His appointment must now be validated by an electronic vote of the 1,941 clubs affiliated to the institution from January 23 to 26.
