Gonzalo Castillo, president of the Peruvian Badminton Federation, was dismissed by the IPD | RMMD | SPORTS

Surprising decision in Peruvian sport. The Superior Council of Sports Justice and Sports Honors of the IPD decided to remove from the national sports system the current president of the Peruvian Badminton Federation, Gonzalo Mario Castillo Guzmán, in the first instance.

The complaint was filed on April 25, 2018 by Juan Alberto Munar Mainetto under file No. 040-2018-CSJDHD-IPD, in his capacity as father of two athletes for allegedly committing offenses against current national sports regulations and later for Rodolfo Dasso Deza, member of the Lawn Tennis Club of the Exhibition.

The Second Chamber of said Council, chaired by Gloria De la Borda Ramírez, declared partially founded the complaint filed against Castillo Guzmán for incurring infractions contemplated in paragraphs a), m) and p) of article 98 of Law No. 28036, by committing abuse of authority for the following reasons:

• Pretend to modify agreements reached in the Bases Assembly dated May 19, 2017 through a reopening of non-existent minutes dated December 12, 2017.
• Failure to convene an Extraordinary Assembly requested by 25% of the bases to discuss his vacancy in the position of President of the FDPB
• Determine the vacancy of the Secretary Mr. José Miyahira Arakaki in breach of the statutes of the FDPB.

In addition, Castillo Guzmán failed to comply with his obligation to notify all bases about subsidy programs and projects for athletes, excluding two clubs (Lawn Tennis and Regatas).

Currently Castillo, in addition to being President of the Peruvian Sports Federation of Badminton, is Vice President for South America of the Pan American Badminton Federation and the Ibero-American Badminton Federation. Likewise, he is Pro Secretary of the Peruvian Olympic Committee. All these institutions should pay attention to the current legal status of Mr. Castillo.

Finally, if an appeal is made on the matter, we call on the CSJDHD not to take more than 4 years to resolve a case because justice that takes time is not justice.
