Overview
- France’s Sports Ministry finalized sanctions, revoking physical trainer Robin Ladauge from the civil service and suspending manager Stéphane Cambos for two years, including a one-year suspended term.
- Medhi Narjissi’s parents condemned the penalty for Cambos as too lenient in a letter to Sports Minister Marie Barsacq and requested the commission’s reasoning.
- Ladauge and Cambos remain under formal judicial investigation in Agen for involuntary manslaughter, and Ladauge is under judicial control; the offense carries up to five years in prison and a €75,000 fine.
- An April IGESR report assigned greater responsibility to Ladauge, and a June confrontation between the two men failed to reconcile their conflicting accounts of authorizing the sea recovery session.
- Ladauge’s lawyer says he will appeal the revocation, while the family urges broader accountability beyond the two staff, citing other supervisors and the local tour operator present at the beach.
