THE CONNIVANCE BETWEEN FIVB AND LVPI REVEALED

Dear readers,

I wish to present to you solid proof that there was a horrendous connivance between FIVB and the new Philippine volleyball federation, Larong Volleyball sa Pilipinas Inc. (LVPI).

FIVB imposed a requirement for LVPI before it can be granted full recognition. That is, LVPI must first pay to FIVB the sum of eighty - thousand dollars. See http://www.philstar.com/sports/2015/03/25/1437454/volleyball-row-over-lvpi-set-be-recognized-fivb

The deadline for LVPI to settle the payment was set on April 30, 2015. 

LVPI presented to AVC and FIVB the Bank Transfer below as proof of payment of LVPI. The said bank transfer was also presented to media in the Philippines. The bank transfer is shown below.

But an email of FIVB 2nd Executive Vice-President Andre Meyer says that LVPI did not pay on April 30, 2015.

Dear Eric,

I checked to-day with the finance department, the amount of USD 80 000 had not yet been registered in any account.

Best rgards

Instead, LVPI paid on May 14, 2015, as confirmed by Meyer as well.

Dear Eric

Yes I can confirm your membership. The money had arrived yesterday on the FIVB bank account.

I wish you all the best in the future. Hope to see you soon.

Best regards

André

What reeks of connivance between FIVB and LVPI is the letter from FIVB signed by Graca saying that LVPI has been accepted as a member on May 11, 2015. We have to take note that the May 12 indicated on the letter is actually May 11 Manila time.

So why was LVPI accepted as a member when it has yet to fulfill the requirement set by FIVB ? Why was FIVB too eager to accept LVPI as a new member when the payment of the eighty - thousand dollars has not been made to FIVB at the time of LVPI's membership ?

 If that is not highly irregular and a form of connivance, I don't know what is.
