It was unanimously decided that the life-ban imposed on Naseem Akhtar by the Uttar Pradesh Football Sangh be lifted as it does not fall under the ambit of the Articles of ‘Corruption’ in Section 6 of Article 63 or Section 10 of Article 70 which states ‘unlawfully influencing match results’.
The Committee also reflected at length the alleged racism complaints in the I-League of Shillong Lajong FC’s Trinidad&Tobago World Cupper Cornell Glen and Sporting Clube de Goa’s Liberia-born Australian Boima Jerry Karpeh. While Cornell had accused Pune FC’s Mumtaz Akhtar, Karpeh had complained about Collin Abranches. But both the complaints could not be proved and therefore were rejected.
