Sweden's Petra Sorling enjoys almost an year of free unelected ITTF presidency ??

When TTFI in India was in trouble a few years ago, I am told the TTFI management was kicked out by the Indian NOC and managed by an independent committee until a new board of TTFI was elected.

But in the case of IOC , ITTF has allowed Petra sorling to continue as ITTF president due to a loophole in ITTF byelaws or IOC byelaws
There does not seem to be a process when the election of ITTF presidency is disputed and being processed in the courts.

Because few people seem to know that Khalil Mohannadi has appealed the results of the election of ITTF president 2025-2029 to CAS on September 2025 .

One would tend to think that an independent panel should have been appointed to oversee the affairs of the ITTF until this dispute is resolved because the verdict is still pending at CAS
Estimates say the the verdict may not come until around April 2026

Which means that Ms. Petra Sorling would have enjoyed almost a free year as strongwoman of the ITTF due to a procedural loophole in IOC & ITTF byelaws.

I realize it is going to be difficult to overturn the results but IMO the right ethical thing for Petra Sorling to have done is to have appointed an independent panel in May 2025 and stepped down until the issue has been resolved at CAS

LOL
Didn't the same thing happen in 2019 when the entire Board of Directors of USATT was kicked out by USOPC ?

Why didn't the IOC step in and protect the integrity of ITTF in May 2025 ?

Imagine if Donald J Trump has refused to step down on January 20, 2021 pending supreme court validation of the November 2020 election ?

Imagine if Kamala Harris on January 6, 2025 has refused to certify Trump's election of November 2024 and Joe Biden had appointed Kamala Harris as interim president and Kamala Harris declared martial law and fired all supreme court justices

Indonesian Olympic Committee also replaced the Indonesian Table Tennis Association (PTMSI) with Indonesia Pingpong League (IPL)

The only right thing IOC can do now ito make up for its misconduct ever since table tennis was admitted into Olympics is to

1. Expel table tennis from Olympics
2. Dissolve the ITTF and manage the daily operation sof ITTF with an independent panel until ITTF can present a robotNazi free group of officials at both the ITTF council & AGM level...........drain the swamp

It does not look like CAS will pass a ruling before the WTTTC 2026 in London
Even after that Petra Sorling can drag it out with her own appeals while continuing as ITTF president :D

Still there is no decision from CAS

Petra Sorling effectively can run out the clock, so to speak, for years even if CAS rules against her later
