Headgear ban eased
Print Edition
BASKETBALL’S governing body has relaxed rules banning players wearing headgear after criticism it discriminated on religious grounds.
FIBA says it launched a two-year trial before possibly deciding on permanent rule changes after the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. Existing rules prohibit “headgear, hair accessories and jewelry,” and allow only a 5-centimeter headband to control hair and sweat. Muslim and Sikh players said this was discrimination and were supported by the US Olympic Committee and India.
