21 of 30 Cameroonian U-17 Football players fail MRI age test.

The former Barcelona and Inter Milan striker's insistence on using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) screening saw the squad ravaged at their training camp in Mbankomo, on the outskirt of Yaounde.

Of the initial 30-member group, 21 failed the tests.

But BBC Sport Africa now understands Cameroon have suffered a fresh setback as 11 new players also failed tests on Tuesday, with coach Jean Pierre Fiala struggling to find replacements.


Ridiculous!

Reminds me back in 2013 when Lazio signed a Cameroonian by the name of Joseph Minala. He was allegedly 17 but was meme'd for looking like a middle aged man. When you hear this 2022 report where over two thirds of the Cameroonian U-17s are actually older than they say it does make you think...
