Pszczola, playing with teammates Michal Kwiecien, Piotr Gawrys, Sam Lev, Michael Polowan and Chris Willenken, had a score of 116 at the end of the next- to-last round. The Bertheau team of Fredrik Nystrom, Christal Henner-Welland, Michael Kamil, Fulvio Fantoni and Claudio Nunes finished their final match early and reported a score 134. Therefore, for Bertheau to finish second it would require the Pszczola — the only team within striking distance — to win by enough to earn at least 19 Victory Points.

  • Considerazioni Sulla Decisione Del CAS Sul Caso Fantoni/Nunes
    17/01/2018 A cura dell’istruttore Michele Leone Considerazioni sulla decisione del CAS sul caso Fantoni/Nunes: E’ oramai a tutti noto che Fulvio Fantoni e Claudio Nunes hanno inoltrato appello presso la Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) di Losanna (Svizzera) contro la sentenza dell’European Bridge League (EBL) emessa nell’agosto 2016, in seguito alle segnalazioni di comportamenti irregolari al tavolo di gioco (cheating) evidenziate da Brogenland & Co a fine agosto 2015. La sentenza della Commissione Disciplinare EBL La Corte Arbitrale dello Sport costituita dal Comitato Olimpico Internazionale (CIO), con l'obiettivo di risolvere le controversie sportive di carattere transnazionale si è riunita il 26 e 27 aprile 2017 a Losanna, risultato: La sentenza dell’EBL è stata annullata. La sentenza del CAS Un report di 39 pagine (originale in inglese) Traduzione in italiano (tramite traduttore Google) Il nostro parere Ai Ai tavoli che contano, quelli di Losanna per intenderci, una commissione composta da personaggi esperti di numerose discipline sportive, doping e problematiche varie – probabilmente nessuno di loro ha mai giocato a bridge - ha emesso il verdetto finale, annullando, di fatto, la sentenza dell’EBL. Il CAS, ribadiamo, è la più alta autorità sportiva internazionale. A cosa sono valse le varie indagini e relative sentenze di FIGB, EBL e ACBL (USA) che hanno pesantemente squalificato i Fantunes? In definitiva, a nulla. La sentenza ACBL In pratica, molte delle prove raccolte in molti mesi di indagini sono state pressoché ridicolizzate dal CAS, in poco meno di due giorni. Vien quasi da chiedersi a che serve spendere soldi per le riprese video, avere arbitri e supervisori al tavolo, coinvolgere campioni di bridge, esperti di statistica e decodificatori vari, ecc.
