Gi & agrave; Yesterday it seemed obvious that the position of Northug was now well defined, as the deadline for signing the & rsquo; agreement with the federation was passed without the king of Falun had accepted the conditions proposed. Today & egrave; arrived l & rsquo; & ufficialit agrave; through a note published by skiforbundet, which we list the main steps translated into Italian (for those who know the Norwegian, the original link & egrave; available by clicking here).
The Board of Directors of the Norwegian Ski Association announces that Petter Northug and Team Coop did not accept & rsquo; agreement offered them. The conditions were the same accepted for the 2014-15 season. The Federation acknowledges and regrets that Petter Northug did not want to enter the national team, could not therefore participate in the World Cup in the same conditions as all other runners.
The Federation is planning next year's World Cup with the athletes that have signed an agreement and does not intend to take further steps against Northug and Coop. The Federation & egrave; made available to deal with for a long time as happened in recent years. We are also willing to accept that our athletes can enter into sponsorship agreements personal. However we can not tolerate that such agreements are in conflict with the rules of procedure, and this & egrave; the case of Petter Northug.
Who is Norway must comply with the commercial rights of the national team, rights that guarantee the operation of the national cross-country skiing and the financing of their community & agrave ;. The Norwegian Ski Federation has a responsibility & agrave; for all of this and want to ensure that new generations have the same opportunities & agrave; Northug's and its peers.
After a long and thorough process, the federation had offered Petter Northug on 16 June 2015 a place in the national team for the 2015-16 season, provided you find a agrave & compliance; with the internal rules. A Northug had been offered a deal similar to the one agreed for the 2014-15 season and has allowed the boy to get huge success.
The Fed noted that Petter Northug did not accept the & rsquo; offer, preferring to maintain freedom & agrave; commercial during the season. Ci & ograve; not about sports training, as Northug is training individually with success from 2013.
We disclaim dryly assumptions relating to a generous offer cash Northug to enter the national team for next winter.
