    I just used an old Latin-SC dictionary and googled out "mania" for ending.

    The offence they could charge people with in English law is "Obtaining Goods or Money under False Pretences", Spain probably has a similar law against petty frauds. The police probably wouldn't be involved unless it's a big betting scam or if the chess authorities made a complaint.

    As with everyone else he should have been made to toe the line and not be such a heel. The sole reason for not allowing inspection of shoe interiors is because something was afoot? All we can really say now is 'cobblers!'

    I think the tourney organizer should covertly hire some thugs to steal Ivanov's shoes. Then blame it on "chess hooligans".

    translation is hilarious,

    Controversial chess Borislav Ivanov was subjected to humiliation new international tournaments in Italy and Spain in the last 10 days. Bulgarians filed a request for participation in the race in Milan in early December and received approval from the owner. When he arrived on the spot , however, pointed to the door without explanation , but at least reimburse travel expenses , write "7 Days Sport" . Ivanov, who is fighting for points to cover the Grandmaster norm traveled to Spain to play in a big tournament municipality Navalmoral de la Mata , Province of Caceres (5-8 December). Bob is the leader after the first 5 rounds by recording 4 wins and 1 draw , when before the next organizers him removed from the room and make him undress . Ivanov remains briefs , but that was not enough of the Spaniards and they asked him to remove them and that Bulgarians refused to do and subsequent disqualification. Chess player gets us back the fee for participation - € 40 and € 50 more compensation. Unofficially, the organizers revealed that they are under tremendous external pressure and therefore can not remain in the tournament. The explanations are not sufficient Ivanov and he intends to sue the bosses of both races for lost profits, especially since he was going to win the second race. He wants compensation for the humiliating attitude towards him

    Here's another story. Ivanov posted both of these stories on his FB timeline. 😕

    In fairness if someone accused me of cheating I would refuse to let them inspect my feet.

    Do you walk with a limp? Do you have shoes with super-fat heels? 😛

    If someONE, sure; but this fellow has a Lance Armstrong level of reputation right. If the whole world thought I was a cheat, then letting people check my shoes just to clear my name is no big thing. Unless I was cheating via footwear.
