President of the French ice sports federation (FFSG) since 1998 with the exception of a break between 2004 and 2007, Didier Gailhaguet (66 years old) had an appointment with the Minister of Sports on Monday afternoon. The latter also requested an investigation from her administration into the affair affecting the world of French skating.
