It is not the first time that Cervantes Ledesma is accused of mismanagement in the 2021, Félix Ballesteros de la Cruz, treasurer of the Mexican Table Tennis Federation (FEMETEME) interposed a lawsuit against the president by diversion of funds.
Back then several athletes from Yucatan could not participate in Latin American Senior Tournament in the Dominican Republic because the FEMETEME had a debt of 2 thousand dollars with the Pan American Confederation, money that was earmarked for the lodging, registration amounts and food of the Mexican delegation, however, Cervantes alleged that the money was not delivered to himHe argued that it was false. Although The lawsuit was of little use, since neither CONADE nor the authorities were able to provide a solution to the irregularities of the manager who remains, to date, in his position.
The bowels of CONADE are plagued by an endless network of corruption, diversion of funds, negligence, and incompetent managers that have only further plunged Mexican sports into red tape to cover up their mismanagement.
