A staggering 26 members of Nigeria's Under-17 side failed an age test carried out ahead of an African Cup of Nations qualifier. A mandatory Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) screening of the squad revealed almost half were ineligible to play.
Only last year the Golden Eaglets, as they are known, won the FIFA U17 World Cup in Chile for a record fifth time.

Former referee Mark Halsey's claims that he was told to lie after a game have been denied by the body which oversees match officials.Halsey said on Twitter that he had "seen an incident and been told to say I haven't seen it" by the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL).
He spoke out after Manchester City's Sergio Aguero received a retrospective three-game ban for violent conduct. However, the PGMOL said: "There is no pressure to include or omit anything."
The body's statement continued: "Match officials submit their reports, including critical incidents, directly to the FA." Match officials ensure that their reports are a full and accurate description of the incident."
