Spaniard Jose Perurena, 74, president of the International Canoe Federation (ICF), tested positive for COVID-19. After showing symptoms of the virus at the start of last week, including a high fever, he remained confined to his home for two days, before being transported to a hospital in Madrid, one of the Spanish cities most affected by the virus. Olympic selection in kayaking at the Mexico Games in 1968, Jose Perurena has chaired the ICF since 2008. But his current mandate should be the last. The Spanish leader also chairs the International World Games Association. According to the agency EFE, he is said to be doing well but will still be treated at La Luz hospital.
