A member of the Ghana Football Association medical team Dr Princeà Pambo says there is no need to panic over CAFââ¬â¢s decision to ban the country from participating in the 2015 African U17 Championship.
He remains confident that decision will be reversed after the Ghanaà Football Association appealed the ban.
Ghana is alleged to have fielded over-aged players in their finalà round qualifier against Cameroon which they won both legs.
Hearts of Lions midfielder Isaac Twum was cross-examined by a CAFÃ medical officer and said to be overage.
But the Ghana Football Association has hotly disputed that.
Pambo who was in the thick of selection process in the lead up to theà 2013 Ghana U17 Group, told JOY Sports the work of CAF's medical expertà cannot be trusted.
"We don't need to get that feeling that when CAF claims their expertsà say this, then it is the Gospel truth. I can tell you on authorityà that, he CAF medical committee does not have a radiologist who expertsà in interpreting the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). We wouldn't justà take what they say,â⬠he noted.
Pambo also questioned the timeliness of the MRI test and argued aà disparity in readings was normal provided the initial test were conducted in MAY and CAF sought verification by re-doing the test inà October.
"We don't know what they are seeing? The issue here is that these "CAFà experts" are reading an MRI that was conducted in October, we presented our MRIs in March and now a problem arises, you come to do aà MRI in October to disqualify us," he added.
Pambo called on the CAF to ensure fairness by ensuring all teams thatà participated in the U17 qualifiers are retested.
"Get all the players who participated in the qualifiers be it Ghana,à Nigeria or whatever let them do the MRI at this time for all of themà and compare to the MRI done in March and tell if they will be same?
Cameroon filed a protest against seven of the players in the Blackà Starlets after losing 2-1 in the first leg match of the third round.
Cafââ¬â¢s Medical Committee submitted findings that showed that Ghana wereà guilty, but the West Africans have said that they will protest the decision
