MADRID: Two Real Madrid officials have resigned after newspaper allegations that unauthorized persons were allowed into the club's general assembly last month and votes manipulated, the club said on Wednesday.
Real President Ramon Calderon, who said late on Tuesday he will probably not stand for re-election when his four-year mandate ends in 2010, named the two officials as Mariano Rodriguez Barrutel and Luis Barcena.
The club has set up a commission to investigate the accusations in Marca, Calderon said at a news conference at the Bernabeu stadium, and insisted that neither he nor any other member of the management board were involved in irregularities.
