Torsten Carlius resigns WMA presidency

Not sure what to make of this. But the Eurovets Web site sez: “All of a sudden Torsten Carlius resigned! Three days before the General Assembly on Tuesday August 30 the acting WMA-President resigned. He published these news during the different Regional Assemblies on Saturday after having informed the WMA-Council Members.” This might mean he didn’t want a parliamentary battle over his wanting to hold two offices at the same time — past president and secretary (which he was a candidate for at San Sebastian).


So strange is this, because Carlius was only days from the end of his term.
Why quit three days early?
Could it have something to do with his conflict-of-interest (holding high jobs in WMA and the International Masters Games Association)? I’m entertaining any and all theories, speculation and rumors.
