SportCom’s report on Igor Čerenšek, reproduced in full without commentary
On February 6, 2017, SportCom reported that Igor Čerenšek did not have permission to work with athletes. That wording is stronger than the wording in the Chamber's statement, so it is presented here only with attribution to SportCom, as a media report and not as our own claim.
What SportCom published: quotation, date, and source
On February 6, 2017, SportCom published an article about the Croatian Psychological Chamber's reaction to the work of the handball national team's mental coach. The article stated that he "did not have permission to work with athletes." This is an English translation of the quoted Croatian statement.
The wording is reproduced solely as SportCom's report. Attribution is part of the text: "SportCom reported that," not an independent assertion.
What the Chamber's statement actually said: precise wording
The Chamber's statement of February 6, 2017, used different and narrower wording. The Chamber distanced itself from Čerenšek's work and public appearances and stated that he did not then have a special license for the field of psychological preparation of athletes.
The difference matters: "did not have permission to work" in SportCom versus "did not have a special license" in the Chamber's statement. The first is more general; the second is more precise in relation to the register.
The difference between the two formulations: linguistic, not evaluative
SportCom's wording refers to permission to work; the Chamber's wording refers to a special license for a field. They cover different scopes: one is broader and may be read as a claim about work in general, while the other concerns a specific type of public document.
For that reason, SportCom's wording is not adopted as a general truth. It is quoted with the media outlet that published it identified.
