$60m Radamel Falcao In Age Falsification Scandal by dayokanu(m): 3:57am On Jul 24, 2013 |
Radamel Falcao was introduced at Monaco just three weeks ago, welcomed by a juicy contract and everything wonderful the French Riviera offers after completing a €60m move from Atletico Madrid. But before Monaco even begins their Ligue 1 campaign, their newly-prized asset is already at the center of a damning storm. A recently published Colombian report questions whether or not “El Tigre" is truly 27 years old as documented by FIFA records, and not two years older as an old civil registration form would suggest. According to Colombia’s Noticias Uno, Colegio San Pedro Claver de Bucaramanga, one of Falcao’s primary schools, claims the former River Plate and Porto forward was born on Feb. 10, 1984 - making the striker 29 years old. The report adds that the player’s place of birth is Colombia’s capital Bogota, not San Marta, as originally believed. School official, Wilson Serrano, added further fuel to the scandal and backed the school’s record-keeping: "He was here in 1989 during preschool for children who are five years old. In order to enroll a student, any student, in this institution, one must provide an official birth certificate. We do not accept copies." If true, there’s no telling how much this report could hurt Falcao. Monaco, for one, would be livid after spending an exorbitant amount of money on a player that they believe just entered the prime of his career. There’s also the matter of Falcao’s father did not comment on the report’s findings, but downplayed the contradiction as merely a “clerical error." In case you’re interested, here’s the official news report that details the claims http://blog.foxsoccer.com/post/56181048980/age-fraud-monaco-striker-radamel-falcao-allegedly |

This is gonna hurt the guy's career real bad. Why lie about your age when there are circumstantial evidence somewhere that says otherwise. In Nigeria, almost(if not all) players lie about their age but that's because they know no one will ever find out cos there are no documents. lol 1 Like |

Ogbeche77: hmmm.. Oga naptu, Nairaland resident encyclopedia.. Can you please refresh our knowledge on the named.. Adokiye Amiesimaka is a respected former member of the Green Eagles (he was a left winger). He won the 1980 Nations Cup with the Eagles. He also studied law. He is from Rivers State and has served in various public offices in Rivers State including the posts of Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice and Chairman of Sharks Football Club. Fortune Chukwudi was the captain of the 2009 Golden Eaglets (under 17 national team). Adokiye claimed that Fortune was 25 years old at the time he captained the Golden Eaglets. He said that he decided to start a feeder team of young school leavers (under 20) when he was chairman of Sharks Football Club in 2002/2003. He said he doubled as coach of the team. Fortune Chukwudi was one of his players and Fortune claimed that he was 18 years old at the time. This was seven years before the 2009 under 17 World Cup. He even produced Fortune Chukwudi's Sharks ID card as evidence. www.goal.com/en-us/news/84/africa/2009/11/05/1606913/adokiye-amiesimaka-nigeria-u-17-captain-fortune-chukwudi-is |

dayokanu: Same thing happened with Andrew Uwe, Samson Siasia and Dahiru Sadi Yeah, I remember that. That's why we missed Italia '91 when the Ghanians won the trophy. Does anybody believe that Peter Ogaba was 13 years old in 1987? |

Little wonder many of them fade into oblivion and retire in their early thirties. How many of them can play when they are 36 years old the way Zidane played in the 2006 World Cup and almost became the World Footballer of the year if not for that ugly incident with Materazzi? How many of them can score 16 league goals in a season when they are 35 like Lampard? |
