In 2001/2002 season they gained promotion the 2nd division after a double play-off match against RKS Radomsko. However the game was shrouded in controversy as Branko Rašić became the centre of attention with Radomsko claiming he was ineligible to play as he was on loan from Victoria Jaworzno before the transfer window at the time. The case took several years to resolve, with numerous court proceedings, Polish FA involvement and even appeals to UEFA, Polish Olympic Committee, and debates in the Polish parliament. The case had widespread consequences, with many officials punished and removed from office as a result, and changes in law to prevent similar incidents in the future.
