15-MATCH BAN: "I WILL NOT APPEAL"- SAMUEL ETO'O

Samuel Eto’O

Samuel Eto’O doesn’t look like someone who could hurt a fly right? Was equally shocked when I read this. Anyways, the Camerounian was accused of instigating the indomitable lions (of Cameroun) to boycot an international friendly match against Algeria in November. And in view of that, the Disciplinary Committee of Cameroun’s Football Federation have decreed that for contravening Articles 8 and 10 of the body which demands compliance with the rule of unalloyed loyalty to Cameroun as far as international duty is concerned, the 30 year-old captain would be banned from participating in 15 international matches.
The world’s highest paid footballer who was however given 10 days to appeal said he has no intention of appealing the decision of his nation’s FA committee.
