Senegal's national football team doctor revealed to be a gynecologist

A scandal has erupted within the Senegalese national football team following the revelation that the team's doctor, Abdourahmane Alfred Fedior, is a gynecologist by training, lacking the necessary specialization for his role.

The discovery came to light during an internal audit conducted by the Senegalese Football Federation (FFS). FFS President Abdoulaye Fall disclosed the situation, stating, "Our team doctor does not have the necessary academic profile to treat our athletes. Dr. Fedior is a gynecologist by training, something I also discovered late."

The audit was initiated to examine the reasons behind the team's elimination in the round of 16 against Belgium. Despite the revelation, the FFS has not yet announced any disciplinary actions or measures concerning Dr. Fedior, who reportedly held the position for 10 years.

Details regarding the specific impact of this medical oversight on player health or performance have not been released. The federation's next steps remain unclear as they navigate this embarrassing situation.
