Mario Goijman is one Argentinean who dislikes corruption and dishonesty. His strong conviction that sport leaders should act as role models has led him to a three year long battle against giants in the world of sport.

Mario Goijman has given up on his plans to appeal the verdict in the Volleygate case where FIVB president Ruben Acosta and former financial controller Franz Schmied were cleared of charges of intentionally deceiving the FIVB Congress. Instead Goijman is standing for election to the FIVB Board of Adminstration.

Mario Goijman continues his fight against FIVB president, Ruben Acosta. He has now appealed the the Swiss court's decision to clear Ruben Acosta and chief financial controller Franz Schmied of charges of intentionally decieving the FIVB Congress by falsifying the auditor’s report for the year 2000.

A wide-ranging set of "Legal prerequisites for new candidates to the FIVB president" combined with the FIVB Constitution seem to make it next to impossible to challenge Ruben Acosta for the presidency of the International Volleyball Federation. So the campaign of former secretary-general Jean Pierre Seppey may have ended before it began and the prospects of other candidates emerging seem bleak.

After his acquittal of charges of forgery, ex-secretary general Jean-Pierre Seppey announced his intentions of taking over the presidency of the International Volleyball Federation from the Mexican Ruben Acosta.

Nobody sees it, nobody knows and Ruben Acosta takes the money. So are the accusations of Mario Goijman. The defence demands an end to this "game of vindictiveness."

President Ruben Acosta and former secretary general Jean-Pierre Seppey deny any responsibility for the manipulation of the 2000 annual report for the International Volleyball Federation.

He was not allowed to give testimony in the Volleygate case in Lausanne. But now a Swedish former secretary in the FIVB Finance Committee tells the Swedish newspaper, Dagens Nyheter, how he feels hoodwinked by the FIVB president, Ruben Acosta.
