Mohammedan Sporting issues statement: Anwar Ali’s words are not our responsibility

I-League second division club Mohammedan Sporting have distanced themselves from Anwar Ali's criticism of the All Indian Football Federation (AIFF).

The young defender, who has been temporarily sidelined from professional football due to a heart condition, had earlier submitted a plea with the AIFF, seeking a hearing to contest his case and explain why he should be allowed to play despite being diagnosed with congenital heart disease.

The player then chose not to appear before the AIFF's (All India Football Federation) Sports Medical Committee on Saturday and has moved the Delhi high court against the AIFF's decision.
