The 5-year suspension of Gjergj Luli, the new president of the Albanian

The Albanian Athletics Federation held the Extraordinary Electoral Assembly this Friday morning, after the 5-year suspension of the former president, Gjergj Ruli.

Taulant Stërmasi has been elected the President of the Albanian Athletics Federation. The well-known coach defeated Ferdinad Canaj and Artan Shytaj in the competition.

Everything was decided in the second round of voting, since in the first round none of the candidates met 2/3 of the votes.

Taulant Stërmasi will be in charge of the athletics federation until August 27, 2024. It is only a one-year mandate because in 2024 all federations will undergo the regular election process.

Taulant Stërmasi will replace Gjergj Rulin in this position, who has been suspended from the athletics integrity unit until December 8, 2026, together with Nikolin Dionisi, who held the position of general secretary. Dionysi is suspended until April 5, 2028.

All this situation has been created after the issue of manipulation of the result of Izmir Smajlaj in the competition of May 8, 2021, which was 8.16 meters.

Athlete Izmir Smajlaj was acquitted by the athletics integrity unit after the court found that the charges against him were not proven, as he was unaware that he was involved in the conspiracy to submit the false information.

The businessman Mirton Lika was also in this race, but he withdrew from the race 48 hours before the elections, leaving it in the hands of 3 members and members of the athletics family.

The elections for the president of the Albanian Athletics Federation were held for a term continuing the current one, of the former president Gjergj Ruli, until August 27, 2024, to resolve the deadlock created with the national and international activities, which had remained suspended due to the investigation against the former leaders of FSHA.

Then the Electoral Assembly will be held for a 4-year mandate.
