The Rowing Association was buying boats through a middleman and at a higher price. He was fined millions of dollars for discrimination
The National Sports Agency (NSA) has ordered the Czech Rowing Federation to return over CZK 942,000 from the subsidies it received for the purchase of sports boats. According to the agency, the federation violated the law when it discriminated against certain bidders during the procurement process. Both institutions confirmed the findings of Radiožurnál, which last December mapped the association’s contracts from 2019 to 2021.
