UAAP imposes one-year ban on La Salle

**Monseratto** · April 21st, 2006 07:50 PM

The University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) board on Friday suspended De La Salle University for one-year as punishment for the eligibility scandal involving two DLSU men’s basketball players.

The decision bars all DLSU teams from participating in all events of the 68th season of the UAAP this year.

A six-man fact-finding committee led by Father Ermito de Sagun, OP of University of Santo Tomas, found the university guilty of fielding basketball players Mark Lester Benitez and Timoteo Gatchalian III after accepting fake documents that allowed the two to gain entry in college.

Other members of the investigating committee are Josei de Leon of Far Eastern University, Arlene Royo of National University, Fr. Maximino Rendon, CM of Adamson, Dr. Ricardo Matibag of host Adamson University, and the lawyer Rene Villa, the league’s legal counsel.

When you look at it, anomalya yan ng buong university, since the school failed to verify the authenticity of the documents kaya nakalusot yung dalawang basketball players.

sana nagbigay man lang nang consideration ang board since inamin naman ng La Salle na may non- eligible players sila ,not unlike sa case ng Adamson na talaga dinaya nila ang academic record ni Marlou Aquino noon ,kaya nasuspinde din sila for one year

Talo talaga mga player na legit at eligable, but ano magagawa nila yung school mismo ang nagkamali so they have to face sanctions which I think is proper. Well they still can play in the PBL.
