In the 2014 EBL Champion’s Cup (Milan, Italy, November 13-15), Bamberger Reiter (Germany) fielded: Michael Gromöller (pc), Jörg Fritsche, Helmut Häusler, Andreas Kirmse, Josef Piekarek and Alexander Smirnov. They reached the second place.
As Piekark and Smirnov admitted their guilt and were convicted by the German Federation (DBV -Deutscher Bridge Verband), Fritsche, Gromöller, Häusler and Kirmse sent their silver medals back to EBL and renounced their prize money.
