IDRC Refuses to Accept Werth's Resignation as a Member

July 14, 2009

Dear Isabell

I confirm that the IDRC board members received your email of 1 July 2009 informing us of your intention to resign as member and board member of the IDRC.

While we understand and appreciate your concern that the IDRC will be negatively affected by the fact that you are subject to an ongoing investigation by the FEI for use of a banned substance, we wish to advise you that we cannot accept your resignation. You have always been a dedicated, committed and professional member of our organisation and we would like to continue our mutually beneficial association with you.

We have complete faith that you will be vindicated and cleared of any intentional wrongdoing. We wish to offer you our wholehearted support and look forward to your continued participation in our activities.

With best regards

Margit Otto-Crepin, President IDRC
