In the upheaval at the top of the German Olympic Sports Confederation, Vice President Andreas Silbersack, who is responsible for popular sports, is now vacating his post.
The 53-year-old justified his withdrawal from the leadership of the DOSB on Thursday with his double burden.
Since September, Silbersack has also been chairman of the FDP parliamentary group in Saxony-Anhalt.
Berlin - “Both activities are highly political and require a high level of commitment.
In addition to my other voluntary functions in sport, I am currently unable to fulfill both tasks to the required extent, ”explained Silbersack.
He will therefore not stand for the new election of the DOSB Presidium on December 4th in Weimar.
In addition to popular sports, Silbersack is currently responsible for sports development in the umbrella organization.
DOSB boss Alfons Hörmann and Vice President Kaweh Niroomand, who is responsible for finance, had previously announced that they would not stand for election.
The vortex at the DOSB was triggered by an anonymous letter from the group of employees in which the association management and above all Hörmann were accused of having a “culture of fear” at the DOSB headquarters.
A selection committee recommended the ex-world-class fencer Claudia Bokel, the CSU politician Stephan Mayer and the outgoing table tennis world president Thomas Weikert as candidates for the office of president.
