Mr Marius Vizer is in good health, continuing his work leading the IJF and advancing the development of judo worldwide. The IJF expresses its deep disappointment with the dissemination of this inaccurate and harmful information and condemns the irresponsible journalism involved.
The International Judo Federation values transparency and encourages the media to verify facts with official sources before publishing any sensitive or potentially damaging information. False articles like this one not only cause unnecessary concern but also distract from the IJF's ongoing efforts to promote judo as a sport and a way of life.
We ask that all media outlets refrain from spreading unverified rumours and we urge 247newsline.com to remove the article immediately and issue a public correction.
For any official updates or information regarding Mr Vizer or the International Judo Federation, please refer to our official channels or contact our media relations team.
