The MRI test was not an accepted testing method by Fifa in 2009. Reports said our players passed it, however, it was a selected random test, just like how drug test are carried out at the World Cup.

The result we got first was from the NFF. FIFA only tested three players in the 2009 squad.

In Iheanacho's case, it is now the official testing method and FIFA monitors and scrutinizes all the results. So there is no reason for someone to come online and start tarnishing Nacho's image especially if he has no proof what so ever for him being an age cheat.

They did on every single member of the 2009 squad!

The Nigeria Football Federation, who are to host the 2009 Under-17 event, initially claimed the tests were not reliable, but having undertaken MRI assessments on their players they have dropped 15 squad members.

In a statement on their official website, Fifa accepts that age verification in some countries is extremely difficult, but that it hopes to use the new technology to eradicate some nations benefiting from the unfair advantage of fielding over-age players.

The NFF also defended the circumstances surrounding the inclusion of two players, Deji Joel and Stanley Okoro on the Eaglets' squad, saying that the duo never failed the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) test.
On Stanley Okoro, the NFF's official said: "Stanley equally passed the MRI test on two occasions, both in Nigeria and Qatar

hmmm... what image. they r all ovr age. keep arguing blindly. an european of age 17 will surely match naija's 20 something bone size. And since they use their own as standard, it is easier for us to cheat. since a tru u17 here will b too young and small in size. does success, bulbwa, or alampasu looked under 17years to u? we shall all see how they will look n play in d nxt 5-10 years of their career. Anyways, Fifa knows. so no big deal.
