Age-fudging: BAI extends VARS deadline, asks players to rectify age by July 10
The HinduFollowing a huge response from players, the Badminton Association of India on Friday decided to extend the deadline for its one-time Voluntary Age Rectification Scheme to July 10 in wake of rampant age-fudging cases in the sport. The BAI’s ‘Voluntary Age Rectification Scheme’ is meant for registered players who have existing BAI identification cards, but have incorrect date of birth or have discrepancies in the date of birth or age. To combat this issue and ensure a level playing field for all participants, the association is implementing stringent measures against players found guilty of age fraud in BAI sanctioned tournaments,” BAI had earlier said in a release. Players who do not avail themselves of this scheme and are later found guilty of age fraud will face severe penalties, including disqualification from BAI sanctioned tournaments, two-year ban, FIR against parents and potential other disciplinary actions,” the association had said.
