NEW DELHI: Indian football was Monday rocked by age fraud with players of all three Under-13 North Eastern teams failing the bone age determination test.
The teams include former I-League winners Aizawl FC, Shillong Lajong and Neroca FC.
Also, most of the players from former I-League champions Minerva Punjab FC’s U-13 team also failed the test.
All these players have been barred from playing in the sub-junior U-13 Youth League with immediate effect by the All India Football Federation (AIFF).
“Minerva Punjab aside, most of the players from all the northeast teams failed the TW3 bone age determination test. They have been barred from taking further part in the competition,” an AIFF official told reporters on the condition of anonymity. (AGENCIES)
