VIENNA (Reuters) - Austrian league leaders LASK Linz have been accused by their rivals of holding training sessions which break coronavirus rules but have themselves complained that they have been victims of industrial espionage.

Eleven of the 12 teams in the Austrian Bundesliga, which is due to re-start in June, said they had been presented with "clear video material" that showed Linz had ignored guidelines which restrict training to small groups of players.
