Lausanne (SUI) / FIG Office, April 30, 2011: The FIG Disciplinary Commission has rendered a verdict in the disciplinary proceedings involving Gymnova, which were lodged in response to an incidence at the 2011 Trampoline World Championships in Metz in 2010.
The Commission pronounced the company in violation of norms specified in the Disciplinary Code and Procedures, Chapter IV, for having supplied a FIG event with equipment bearing defective springs - the 2010 Trampoline World Championships in Metz, France - which significantly decreased the level of quality in affected apparatus.
Pursuant to the corresponding articles of the Disciplinary Code and Procedures (Chapter IV) and article 10 of the Disciplinary Code, the Commission issued the company a 2,000 € fine. The decision will be made public on the FIG website and via all other standard channels of communication. All costs related to the suit will be paid by the Company, a total amount of 8,500 CHF.
It is Gymnova's right to appeal to the FIG Appeal Tribunal within 21 days of notification of this decision.
