PARIS, Sept 10 : The organising committee for the 2030 French Alps Winter Olympics confirmed the departure of its president Edgar Grospiron on Thursday, 18 months after his appointment, raising fresh questions over the Games' governance.

Grospiron, the 1992 Olympic moguls champion, had been widely expected to leave and his departure was formalised at a meeting of the organising committee's executive board on Thursday.
