"We are pleased that the court of the Oslo court upheld our will - commented Stein Opsal Secretary General of the NRK Norge Skiforbundet adding - to Henrik have never denied the ability to bind to other companies so we have never had anything against his agreement with Red Bull, only that we have always insisted that he could not put the logo of the energy drink note on his helmet and uniform of the race. "
The judges of the justice of the Norwegian capital building have therefore rejected any kind of accusation by dell''atleta Legal demanding compensation of 15 million crowns to the federation for having prevented Kristoffersen to be able to perform in the race of their sponsor's logo staff. The lawyers of the slalom skier also accused the Norge Skiforbundet discrimination citing the precedent of Svindal, anch''egli Norwegian athlete sponsored by RedBull which however has never been prohibited 'use of the sponsor on your helmet.
The court has taken account of the fact that the 'agreement between Svindal and Austria's known multinational has been concluded in a period prior to the 2010-2011 season or when entered into force the new regulation wanted by the Norwegian federation requires its athletes competing only with the logos of the federal sponsors.
This then is the verdict of the lower court. Of course, as mentioned it is only a preliminary judgment therefore Kristoffersen and his lawyers will obviously appeal to eventually overturn the decision of the judges, although now remains to understand the position of Red Bull.
The giant energy drinks had indeed put big pressure to the father-manager of the Norwegian slalom skier so he was quickly a solution to the problem, going so far as to declare that it is ready to abandon the winner dell''ultimo slalom of the season if the judges had unfavorable opinion all''atleta.
At the time by the Kristoffersen clan I was unable to reach some statements, but knowing the character dell''atleta in the coming days will soon have its say.
