An “Honesty Society” set up within the membership of the British Judo Association (BJA) will call for the under-fire governing body to hold an Emergency General Meeting (EGM) if they fail to respond to a request to explain their actions over the withdrawal of the 2015 European Championships from Glasgow.

An “Honesty Society” has been established within the British Judo Association’s (BJA) membership, calling for the governing body to provide answers to a series of questions after the 2015 European Championships was taken away from Glasgow because of a sponsorship row.

The British Judo Association (BJA) will pursue the possibility of retrieving money from former chairman Kerrith Brown after the sponsorship debacle which led to Glasgow being stripped of the 2015 European Championships.

Former British Judo Association (BJA) chairman Kerrith Brown has been “almost entirely” blamed for Glasgow being stripped of the 2015 European Championships in a scathing report published as part of a review into the controversy.

Kerrith Brown has stepped down as chairman of the British Judo Association (BJA) to become President of the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation (IMMAF).

British Judo Association (BJA) chairman Kerrith Brown has  become a director of the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation (IMMAF), partner of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), just two months after the UFC’s controversial sponsorship of the 2015 European Judo Championships led to the BJA and hosts Glasgow being stripped of the event.
