Walter Mayer has Withdrawn Legal Procedures Against Dr Jacques Rogge and Dick Pound

Olympics - 09 Feb 2007
   
Salzburg, 08 February 2007: Today we have learned that Walter Mayer has dropped legal actions against Dr. Jacques Rogge, IOC President, and Dick Pound, Chairman of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and IOC member.

Executive Director of Salzburg 2014, Gernot Leitner, stated: “The decision of Walter Mayer is certain to exert a calming influence, both nationally and internationally. Whilst some parties tried to establish a link between the Salzburg Bid and the Mayer case, the fact is that there was never the slightest connection between Salzburg 2014 and the "Walter Mayer Affair". The Olympic Family was always perfectly aware that there was no link whatsoever between Salzburg 2014 and the whole story. Also the bidding teams of Sochi, Russia, and PyeongChang, Korea, always treated this matter in a very fair and correct way. We would like to thank them for this Olympic attitude.”
