Al-Nasr striker gets ban over passport scam
Print Edition
BRAZIL-BORN forward Santos Monteiro Wanderley received a backdated three-month ban and his Dubai-based club al-Nasr was fined after being found guilty yesterday of faking documents so he could play in the AFC Champions League.
Wanderley and al-Nasr admitted using a forged or falsified document, the Asian Football Confederation said in a statement.
Wanderley was provisionally suspended on September 2 when it was alleged a forged Indonesian passport was used for him to qualify as an Asian player. Each club in the ACL is allowed to field three foreign players and a non-national from another Asian country.
Wanderley was fined US$10,000 and suspended for three months. Al-Nasr was fined US$50,000, ordered to return US$340,000 in prize money from this year’s league, and given a suspended two-year ban from the tournament.
The disciplinary panel concluded the United Arab Emirates club “al-Nasr bore the majority of the fault for the violation, having deliberately obtained an Indonesian passport for the purpose of circumventing the 3+1 rule, and that its employees were not truthful in their collaboration with the AFC”, the statement said.
