Noël Le Graët and Amélie Oudéa-Castéra do not like each other.
At the highest point.
And for several weeks they have been responding to each other through the media, without directly targeting each other.
Targeted by an investigation for moral and sexual harassment opened on Tuesday, the president of the FFF, withdrawn from office for a week, has been surprised in recent days by "
leaks
" in the media.
New barely veiled spade towards the minister.
The latter was quick to respond on Tuesday evening.
“I learned through the press today
of the opening of this investigation
.
It is now up to the judiciary to do its job and decide what to do,
she first replied
.
I have neither received, nor commented on, nor qualified the elements which were transmitted to him in complete independence by the IGESR and which the prosecution judged that it should take up.
And it is not for me to comment on this judicial decision either.
Everyone has their role, their responsibilities, this is a principle to which I am very attached.
“
A way of saying publicly that it is not at the origin of these famous leaks, even if the Le Graët clan does not think less.
Le Graët increasingly isolated and close to breaking up

The Minister of Sports clarified her point again, without changing her posture, with the firm will not to give in to the pressure of the boss of the FFF, who sees, with each passing day, the noose tightening.
“The statements I made last week concerned the established bankruptcy of Noël le Graët in his function of representing the Federation, I assume them and maintain them.
The inspection mission led by the IGESR continues its work on the fields that remain within its competence, again independently, with method, and will finalize them within the announced deadlines, in compliance with the adversarial process and the rights of the parties, as has been the case since the start of this audit.
Noël le Graët is a litigant like any other.
He is free to organize his defense as he wishes, but his attempts at diversion will not fool anyone.
I will not let myself be questioned.”
