Nassar: PTPA, Rybakin-Vukov was very involved in the case, not only open
“It is very high profile and much … I will say that we are just openly open, I’m not just open.
Nassar noted that the “player welfare” is one of the largest emphasis on the PTPA, but it is not clear which parties are.
“The player’s welfare will always be the first. Thus, Elena … Yes, we are very involved, not just open,” he said.
