'Act of forgery': FIFA accuses Malaysia of faking foreign players' eligibility - ABC News (Australia)
Global football's governing body FIFA has found Malaysia "cheated" by forging documentation to improperly naturalize foreign players from South America and Europe. While the international players' union says the seven players are "victims", FIFA has imposed a 12-month suspension on them. FIFA has also lodged criminal complaints in five countries and launched its own investigation into the Football Association of Malaysia. ABC journalist Max Walden spoke to the World's Girish Sawlani about the impact the scandal has had on Malaysian football.
