Suspicions about Dinamo volleyball players/Latifllari: Excessive media coverage,

Director of the Multifunctional Center of Pogradec, Dorian Latifllari, spoke today regarding the case of Dinamo volleyball player, Brazilian Nayara Ferreira, who is suspected of having changed gender.

In a statement, Latifllari says that this event has taken on too much media coverage without being necessary and that the solution is quite simple through specific analysis.

Latifllari states that every team playing in a match has every right to raise a concern about the opposing team and that this dilemma should be verified by the Volleyball Federation itself.

"We are members of the Albanian Volleyball Federation and like every member of this federation, we have the right to raise doubts about the sportsmanship of a player or a team and for this we have raised an issue that is completely sporting, I don't know why it took such media proportions when we have specifically requested from the federation that for the player in question and from the images we have encountered when she has played matches with other teams for this player, we request a specific analysis to verify whether this player is suitable to play in this category and perhaps also check the unfair advantages that this player may benefit from over female players.

Here I mean that we may have the use of substances that are prohibited by the regulations of international sports federations, or various hormonal therapies that we have seen in the media that players use regularly.

We made the request before the match we were going to play with Dinamo on October 11, we have seen matches that Dinamo has played with other teams, we have seen that it has some data that is different from the data of the players participating in this category, we have raised some doubts, it is our right to raise these doubts and we simply wait for the federation to confirm them.

The way this issue has been handled and the mud that is being thrown at the Pogradec team, because Pogradec is in first place today and I want to emphasize that in the match with Dinamo. This team was complete, where the player in question also participated, Pogradec won with a score of 3 to 2 and thanks to the extraordinary support of the citizens of Pogradec, of course we won in Pogradec, that victory is the merit of the team and the girls of Pogradec who are being judged by the general public today, that Pogradec is winning with inappropriate sports methods, which is not true. We defeated Dinamo on our field with the full team that Dinamo had, "- said Latifllari. /CNA
