SOUNDBITE (German) Peter Schroecksnadel, president Austria Alpine Skiing Association (OSV):

"Anna and me met yesterday in Innsbruck. Anna will again be a full member of the Austrian Ski Association. She is going to accept all the rules. Mr. Kaercher won't be accepted by us anymore. He can do whatever he wants in the background for her. But we don't want to have anything to do with him anymore. She accepted that as well. And we will take take care of her very very well."

"I won't be called a liar. She apologised for that. She said she's sorry. I cleared this all up. There's no reason to call me a liar anymore. She apologises for that."

"If we had a competing product the system would break down. Take FC Bayern Munich for example. Mr. Alaba can't simly drive another car. He's driving an Audi in this case. Or with a cycling team, a private team - that's not possible there either. And that's also the case with us. This is the only restriction is that we can't have competition against our products."
