Global Athlete has urged the World Karate Federation (WKF), UK Sport, and the IOC Athletes’ Commission to intervene in a governance crisis affecting British karate athletes. The organization raised concerns about transparency, athlete treatment, and a dispute leading to the exclusion of athletes and the formation of a new federation (ENKGB). The situation stems from financial account issues and a vote of no confidence against the British Karate Federation (BKF) president, Roger Williams, and a lack of transparency regarding funding and donations. UK Sport allocated significant funding to British karate athletes, with a portion going directly to the BKF.
