This has nothing to do with the (National Olympic Committee) or the (Austrian Skiing Federation), this was rented for private citizen.

I just don't understand what is going on here. We have nothing to do with Walter Mayer.

I haven't had much contact with Mayer. I don't know what he has done wrong now or why he shouldn't come here to visit.

They were scared of Italian law and they preferred to leave because something was confiscated, only from them and not from the others, and they were worried it may have been illegal.

This place was searched yesterday. Nothing was found.

We are considering making an official protest about this to the IOC.

It is important to say these people are innocent. Two fair medal chances have been taken away from the Austrian team.

Of course, the I.O.C. wanted somebody to be guilty, but there is no way I feel guilty.
