A recent FECAFOOT publication of Nathan&#8217;s name on the provisional list of players to potentially miss the MTN Elite One championship playoffs due to double identity sparked fresh controversy and the release of the documentary.<\/p>\n<p>If these claims turn out to be true then the supposed 17-year-old could land five-time African champions Cameroon into a big mess which can go as far as expulsion.<\/p>\n<p>Article 45 of the African Nations Cup regulations recommends an investigation of cases of fraud, falsification or administrative errors while article 46 clearly prescribes it&#8217;s consequences;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If CAF learns, from whatever the source, that fraud and\/ or falsification of documents accomplished by any means and\/ or support whatsoever has been committed by one or more national team(s), an investigation will be opened.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If the incriminating facts are proven, the national association found guilty will be suspended from participation in the two following editions of the AFCON,&#8221; reads the competition&#8217;s guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>The recent twist of events indicates that even if FECAFOOT somehow clears Nathan there will be a public call for the player and his entourage to explain how he transformed from Alexandre Bardelli to Nathan Douala.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Copyright\u00a92023 kick442.com-Cameroon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>All rights reserved.
