Team River Squash coach has been caught with a fake player accreditation card last Friday at the squash centre at the ongoing 6th National Youths Games in Ilorin.
Two of his players had earlier been screened out during the screening process last Thursday and were not eligible to participate in the competition because the accreditation cards given to them before the screening exercise were collected from them but the squash’s coach of the River state presented a fake tag, trying to deceive the organizing committee in charge of the Squash games.
But his ploy was abortive as the body in charge with players’ accreditation which consists of members of Nigeria Squash Federation which has been saddled of featuring in any athlete who had been cleared by the screening committee to play in the competition discovered that the players names were not on the master list which comprise of a litany of eligible players and also the card presented by the team River coach was not flexible as the original given by the Main Organizing Committee.
Our correspondent who was at the squash centre gathered that the River coach had been informed that since his players were not on the master list, they were could not featured for the ongoing National Youths Games.
This mischievous action added salt to the injury to Team River players not to be considered to participate in the games.
Effort to hear from him was abortive as he refused to speak with our correspondent.
