Other information FROM FRANCE TO ALGERIA
He represented France at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. In January 2013 he was suspended from the French national training institute [INSEP] in Paris after openly criticising the national coaching staff in the French press. The suspension meant he had to train with his club in Rueil instead, although it did not extend to a competitive ban. He says the conflict almost caused him to quit fencing entirely, and led to him pursuing a switch to represent Algeria, where his grandfather was born. The International Fencing Federation [FIE] approved the switch in March 2016. "I stand by what I said. As a physiotherapist I like to do my physical training on my own terms, and I often came into conflict with the national coaching staff because of this."
