“Amongst other considerations, it deemed that on the basis of the documents presented, the player was to be considered as holding permanent Ecuadorean nationality in accordance with… FIFA Regulations Governing the Application of the Statutes.” “The weight of evidence is clear and we urge the Appeal Committee to deliver the grounds of the decision very quickly because there were enough unjustifiable delays and postponements in this case.”The Chilean Football Federation’s lawyer Eduardo Carlezzo said they had a “huge number of documents” that proved “without any reasonable doubt that the player was born in Colombia”.“Sad day for football and for fair play. The message is clear: cheating is allowed. We will appeal to CAS.

“Quietly, we continue to defend what we earned on the field,” Francisco Egas, the president of the Ecuadorean Football Association , wrote on Twitter.
