Heart examinations mandatory for players - EFA
Published in Daily News Egypt on 12 - 09 - 2006

CAIRO: No player will be registered in any Egyptian club s squad next season unless he passes a heart examination, the Egyptian Football Association announced on Sunday.
The decision was taken in the aftermath of Mohamed Abdul Wahab s shocking recent death during an Al Ahli training session due to heart failure, an incident that stirred a debate over the role of sports medicine in Egypt.
This measure has been taken to ensure that all players are totally safe, EFA spokesman Medhat Shalabi told reporters.
A number of experts accused Al Ahli of negligence, recalling Abdul Wahab s poor medical record.
The international defender was hit by two public comas during the Cairo derby and Egypt s game with Senegal last season.
Al Ahli deny any role.
All contracts will include a life insurance term as well to provide more security for all players, Shalabi added.
Al Ahli announced that the fee of a three-year contract that Abdul Wahab was due to sign will be paid to his family.
The EFA also decided to donate third of the revenues of Egypt s 4-1 victory over Burundi to the player s family.
The other two thirds will be donated to the families of Rami Gomaa and Ahmed Wahid, both died in a car crash late in August.
HEAD: Al Ahli coach Jose describes Sfaxien as sore losers
By Mohamed Sabe Al Ahli manager Manuel Jose dismissed claims from Sfaxien assistant coach Ghazi Guidara that Mohamed Abou-Treika s opening goal in Saturday s match was illegitimate.
Guidara questioned Abou-Treika s opener in the African Champions League Group A match that ended 2-1 in favor of the title holders, noting that the goal, which came from an indirect free-kick, was not touched before hugging the net.
Jose responded sternly to the claim.
The rules of football are constantly changing, the Portuguese manager said in the post-game conference.
Tarek Al-Saied set-up the ball for Abou-Treika without moving it, which is legitimate, and therefore the goal counts, he explained.
Jose went on to describe the Tunisians as sore losers after Sfaxien coach Murad Mahjoub failed to show-up at the conference.
He noted that Sfaxien should accept defeat and not blame referees for it. Why blame the referee? asked Jose. We had two penalty claims turned down during the game and the referee neglected sending off a Sfaxien defender.
But we won t make a fuss about. We didn t make a fuss when we lost to Sfaxien in Tunisia, and we won t do it now either.
Angolan Flavio Amado netted the second for Al Ahli before the interval while Tarak Ziadi scored the consolation goal for Sfaxien late in the second-half and the win secured Ahli s place in the semi-finals.
Nevertheless, Jose offered his best wishes to Sfaxien in their upcoming game against Asante Kotoko, but issued a warning to the Tunisians.
If Sfaxien do reach the final of the competition against us, then it will be unfortunate for them, a confident Jose said.
Guidara had to apologize for Mahjoub s no-show, claiming the Sfaxien coach was absent for personal reasons.
