Belmopan, Belize 10 August (Belizean.com) The Belize basketball team today beat Nicaragua 98-67 in its first CoCaBa match held in Cancun, Mexico. But the win is up in the air as the ruling body FIBA has raised objections about the eligibility of some of the Belize players. It appears some of the Belize players are in fact born in and residents of the U.S.A. albeit with some Belizean ancestry.
"The team will have to await the decision of Horacio Muratore, the head
of FIBA Americas. Muratone, from Argentina, will fly down to Cancún,
Mexico on Wednesday to verify the players' eligibility, and rule on
Belize's protest." More details in this story http://tinyurl.com/nu7ny9
