AFC Medical Committee chief advises against Anwar Ali playing football: AIFF
India TV NewsIn a big blow to India's U-17 World Cup player Anwar Ali's fledgeling career, the medical committee chief of Asian Football Confederation has advised the national federation against allowing him to continue playing the game considering his congenital heart condition. AIFF General Secretary Kushal Das confirmed that the AFC Medical Committee chief Dato Gurucharan Singh, who was consulted by the medical committee of the national federation, has advised against Ali's continuation of the game. "Competitive sports activity is associated with an increased risk of sudden cardio vascular death in adolescents and young adults with clinically silent cardiovascular disorders," said AFC Medical Committee chief Singh in his advisory contained in the report prepared by the AIFF Medical Committee. Taking into account of Singh's advisory as well as the reports of the outside consultants and hospitals that investigated Ali, the AIFF's Medical Committee "unanimously" advised the youngster to refrain from playing football.
