A member of the Ghana Football Association(GFA) medical committee Doctor Prince Pambo says he doubts the competence of the CAF medical officer who verified the eligibility of Heart of Lions player Isaac Twum.
CAF has disqualified Ghana from participating in next year’s African U17 Championship finals for using over-aged players in their qualifier against Cameroon.
The Ghana FA has vehemently appealed and insists all players assembled were verified by the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
Dr Pambo, who worked on the MRI scans of the Black Starlets two years ago in an exclusive chat with Joy sports noted that he is skeptical of the competence of the CAF medical officer who verified the age eligibility of the player in question.
“We don’t need to take a position that will probably get us feeling that once CAF claims that their expert insist it is the gospel truth.
“I can tell you based on facts that the CAF medical committee does not have radiologists who are experts in MRI interpretations, we wouldn’t take what they say and we don’t know what they are seeing.
“ The issue here is that these CAF experts are reading an MRI which was done in October but we presented our MRI’s in March and now a protest is filed and you come to do the test in October to disqualify a player.
"We expect them to do it across, get all the players who took part in the qualifiers, be it Ghana, Cameroon or any of the other countries and do MRI’s as at this time for all of them and compare the MRI they all presented in March and tell me it will be the same.”He added
Meanwhile, the Ghana FA has appealed against the decision.
