“Nonsense, mystifications! Marius Vizer works through interposed”

Recently entered the new Parliament of Romania, on the lists of the Pro-Rus Sos party, led by Diana Şoșoaca, Andrei Gușă, 27, is giving a position in the leadership of the Judo Federation. This is after his father, Cosmin Gușă, with Kremlin's favorable guidelines, announced that he will no longer run for a new term at the head of FRJ.

Former national champion on Tatami cadets, Gușă Junior has now registered in Florin Bercean's team, the most titled coach of the Romanian Judou, but also the man on whom the accusations related to wild abuses were launched.

“I recommend the managerial experience in a press trust”

– What will be the main three measures that you will support as vice -president, if you get the post?
– I am not the one who will mainly coordinate the Romanian judo, but Florin Bercean, who has a vast experience. And from my possible quality of vice president, I can help him in the areas where he has no contacts or does not have enough expertise. These areas are those of the press, respectively of political interface with the decision -makers in Romanian sport, who have political quality. Apart from this, I think I am competent in creating certain marketing programs more efficient for FRJ, which will agree the media interests of the federation, with the desires of representation of the business people. I am a good connoisseur of the business environment, I also have specialized studies and I think that I can do. But there is no question of coordination.

– What do you think you recommend for a position at the top of a federation with claims in Romanian sport?
– Of course, I recommend the experience in judo and the management studies I have, respectively the managerial experience in the management of the press.

– The fact that your father is no longer candidate, and you intend to become a vice president is also interpreted as a dynastic scenario in front of FRJ. What distinguishes you from your father, so that you are not identified only as an extension at the power level in the Gușă family?
– I can't answer you directly, but I do it otherwise. I have a duty to support the judo further after the 8 years of mandate of my father, who de facto were about 18, given that he began to help the federation about 10 years before, without being president. Unfortunately, the former presidents have been playing the support given by my father. But I have a duty to go before and support the Romanian judo as much as possible. Moreover, I hope that he will not leave us, to remain in the phase in which he continues to support the judo.

“No one assumes such aberrations”

Gușă throws the scenario that Marius Vizer, the president of the International Judo Federation, would manipulate the FRJ elections in the shadow

– You did not answer, please, to the detail related to the transfer of power in the family!
– I hope you are joking. What power could my father's judo give him? He did not make a full gasoline from the federation, on the contrary, he brought money from home. Maybe you refer to the power project of Mr. Marius Vizer unfortunately, who wants to coordinate the federation through interposed. Our candidates are just against such a result. We want to be independent, in order to be able to develop naturally in the spirit of judo values ​​in general, respectively the ambitions of the Romanian judo in particular.

– About 6 and a half years ago, Florin Bercean was in the middle of some earthquake disclosures about numerous mental and physical abuse among the athletes he worked with. There were over 10 testimonies with subject and predicate about the horrors practiced by the lot. How do you explain the entrance to the team of a candidate that leads back to years such very serious accusations?
– All these nonsense that have been said about Florin Bercean are ordered from the team that now candidates us, coordinated, of course, by Marius Vizer, whom I know from childhood, I did not imagine that he could coordinate such a thing. Let's be serious! All this thing with abuse was investigated, uprised, judged by COSR and it has been unequivocally proven to be a mystification. But I make you another proposal!

Alina Alecu – Croitoru, on the right, was one of Florin Bercean's victims: today she is a coach and competes for a position of FRJ vice president.

– Please!
– Come, the press, in the Romanian judo, at the level of coaches, at the level of lots, where you want, and ask about Florin Bercean. Where you want. From athletes, former athletes, to coaches. You will see that no one assumes such aberrations, because they did not happen. I met Florin Bercean when I was a cadet, junior, senior. It is by far the most balanced man, not only from the Romanian judo, but of all the coaches I met in sports. And I met many coaches in the Romanian sport.

– What is more important for you: the profile of coach Florin Bercean, who wrote history with the Olympic, world, European medals, or the profile of coach Florin Bercean on which there have been a lot of accusations about terrible abuses?
– Please set aside these mystifications, which are an order from the desire for some to get the illegitimate hand on the coordination of the judge. The reality is totally different. And nothing that is said there has nothing to do with reality. I support and know exactly that Florin Bercean, after leaving my father from the Federation, is the best solution, unique, unfortunately, which we have at this time. And I do not want to go into details about how people in the opposing team acted in the Romanian judo, nor the way they put the federation in difficulty, by kind of complaints against us, who did us a lot and because we lost a lot of money, which could be used in the performance activity.
