I read that Raul Calin left as Secretary General of ITTF

What is the story here ? Was he fired or quit
Is it the scandal involving Petra Sorling re-election fiasco ?

===================================
Leí que Raúl Calin dejó el cargo de Secretario General de la ITTF.

¿Cuál es la historia? ¿Lo despidieron o renunció
¿Se debe al escándalo de la reelección de Petra Sorling

It is hard to say .
But many were very upset at him in the first part of AGM 2025 in May 2025

And the National Association of Iraq's representative asked why Raul had not been fired yet in the second part of the AGM 2025 on October 15 2025

Take a look at this webpage
https://www.ittf.com/2025/11/19/ittf-ou ... w-chapter/

Raul Calin says "with the ITTF well positioned for the future and our sport becoming more popular worldwide, I believe the time is right for a transition"

If you are in a business and if your business is doing better everyday , would you leave for another job ?
Just saying

About the ITTF presidential election fiasco at the 2025 AGM in May 2025
Does anyone know who the 5 associations that were allegedly added by Raul & voted after the final roll call?
This seems to be the center of the controversy.
I am not sure if ITTF tribunal investigated these 5 associations to find out what happened?
Why did these 5 associations join late ? Were they contacted by by Raul Calin or Petra Sorling ?

The case is still on appeal with CAS
Is CAS going to investigate this?
Or are they going to jus rubber stamp the ITTF tribunal decision without any further investigation?
