The noose is tightening more than ever around Noël Le Graët.
And his days seem numbered at the head of the FFF.
As we wrote in recent days in our columns, the resignation of the big boss of French football seems inevitable in view of the ambient climate within the largest sports federation in France while the audit report commissioned by the Minister of Sports will be made public next Wednesday.
This Friday Radio France, which was able to consult the details of what is alleged against the 81-year-old Breton leader, reveals other elements.
Which confirm the more than inappropriate attitude of the president of the French federation towards certain women.
Harassment, heaviness, practices from another time, justice will decide or not on the character of his actions.
But the pressure on “NLG” has never been greater.

The three inspectors from the General Inspectorate for Education, Sport and Research (IGESR), in charge of the audit, have received 103 people in recent weeks.
And the alleged facts are quite clear as confirmed by our colleagues.

Clumsy SMS, inappropriate gesture, proposed threesome
"Text messages indicating for example "good evening without me!!!!!"",
"
an explicit request to a young woman to put on a skirt to travel
", "
a repeated caress of the thigh of a young woman during of a trip when he was asked to stop
", "
the sending of two successive voice messages of invitation, the second specifying: "I am on my third bottle (…); I am waiting for you for the fourth""
,
"the explicit proposal of a "threesome" during a dinner surrounded by two collaborators", "the invitation of a young woman to her home to discuss projects, suggesting that a third person was invited while
he had knowingly organized a tete-a-tete ”.

The general manager also pinned
So many elements that make the resignation of the president of the FFF almost mandatory.
A report that will not fail to pin also the general manager, Florence Hardouin, laid off and expected on February 21 for a preliminary interview for serious misconduct.
The latter, who also claims to have been the victim of harassment by her superior, is targeted for her "
brutal management
", but also for "
a form of complicity
" in the actions of the latter.
One certainty, the image sent back by the French football federation in recent weeks is pathetic.
The end of the (sad) soap opera is near.
