Austria Cup Lead canceled

I've just read at the website of the local indoor climbing center that the National Cup is canceled. In contrast to the website of the Austrian climbing competition association ÖWK the climbing center (place of event) also posted a statement.
There seems to be some controversy between the officials, state and the managing director of climbing center and chief coach of Tyrol Reinhold Scherer.
The Tivoli climbing center has great walls and routes but the floor area is limited and there is no possibility to expand.
The sanitary installations are intolerable for serious sports. There is one toilet and one shower for women and men. (Of course both have their own.) Every school gym is better equipped.
There seems to be no support to change this situation and provide the top athletes the deserved training center with regeneration area.
In consequence Reini resigns. The Tivoli climbing center won't host official competitions anymore.
