Karate England, the governing body of the sport, was in chaos last night after a statement posted on its website stated that the organisation had stopped trading and that the liquidator had been called in.
But when contacted by The Times, Victor Charles, the acting president of the board, said that the statement was premature and that Karate England remained a going concern.
Karate England was created from an amalgamation of three organisations in November 2005. It received more than £400,000 of public money from Sport England but is labouring under debts understood to be about £160,000. At an extraordinary general meeting in Burton upon Trent last month there were angry accusations of extravagance and mismanagement.
