Payoff row boss now chairing sports body

THE former boss of a poverty charity who walked away with £230,000 after "misconduct" by its trustees is chairing a publicly funded national sports body.

Ronnie Saez, whose payoff was criticised by charity watchdogs last week, is also helping to plan for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games as chairman of JudoScotland.

Calls have been made for him to step aside from the organisation, which receives £400,000 a year in public funding.
