Andorrana Gymnastics Federation Rejects Financial and Irregularity Claims

The Andorrana Gymnastics Federation (FAG) has rejected claims of financial troubles and sporting irregularities, asserting sufficient funds to cover commitments and denying any personal or sponsorship influences on decisions.

In a statement responding to recent reports, the FAG described its economic position as manageable and under control. It emphasised having adequate treasury and financial capacity to complete the season, meet obligations, and execute planned activities. The federation insisted there is no insolvency or barrier to ongoing operations, noting the previous year ended in surplus under the prior board. The current board took office in November 2025, after the season and much of the planning were already set.

The ministry of Sport had previously voiced surprise at suggestions of budget issues, confirming the 2025 surplus. This aligns with the FAG's account but contrasts with earlier insider claims of economic, sporting, and institutional crises, including athlete withdrawals and rifts with most clubs—except Valira, led by Alejandro Doña.

On disputes with clubs, the FAG said it has held talks seeking agreement and plans further meetings at the new season's start. It stressed resolving differences through dialogue, institutional respect, and collaboration.

Regarding athlete selections and technical choices, the federation maintained these follow purely sporting and technical criteria, such as performance levels, results, standards, and competition needs. It dismissed implications of bias tied to personal, family, economic, or sponsorship interests, and denied efforts to identify leakers of internal information or favouring one club over others.

The FAG also defended its staff's professionalism, refusing to accept unverified claims or false information questioning their work. The board pledged to continue with rigour, transparency, and a focus on athletes and gymnastics development.

The federation had not previously responded to requests for comment. The ministry has stayed out of non-financial issues, favouring internal handling amid reports of failed reconciliations and persistent discord.
