Wiggins wheeling, winning. Andrew Wiggins scorched his old team for a season-high 35 points Wednesday night as the Golden State Warriors overcame a career-best The letter is very clear and the reasons for the suspension are two: — One club has been able, with external political support, to disrupt entirely the smooth running of the Lebanese National Championship.

I think at this point, the real problem is not the suspension itself but the way the Lebanese Federation and concerned teams dealt with the FIBA warnings, and the way a lot of fans are reacting to this decision by blaming either Amchit or the Federation. President Choueiri succeeded in doing that in tougher days and with Sagesse Team against all odds, not because he poured money or was politically powerful but because he was able to find a compromise between all parties while focusing on improving the sport and helping Lebanon win international tournaments and even qualify for the World Cup.

In order to make that happen, all teams should sit down, propose new ideas and figure a way out of this mess once and for all. The Federation failed in dealing with the Amchit-Champville series and its decisions led us here. They are the ones responsible for keeping the league ongoing and penalizing the corresponding teams. Amshit is nothing without the full back up of the president! The scandal is in this negative abuse of power! The scandal of the federation is not there to ignore, if it is true I will be among the first to call for a full investigation… corruption should be fought!

The serious problem is the political support of the team and not the federation itself which represents the most serious violation of the FIBA. There are no efficient rules or dispute resolution mechanism. Back to your lovely Choueiri, if he cared much about the federation, he should have thought about setting up all those missing policies stated by FIBA, instead of turning it into a one man show business, because, you may see clearly the result thereof.

Najib, if you wanna preach for integrity and long term success, stop glorifying individuals as we need to build or re-build all our institutions based on rules and regulations and not on the ego of some individuals.

While the serious problem is what one team did, the real problem is the incompetence and inability of the federation to do anything about it. Remember they stopped the federation not the team. There are a lot of efficient mechanisms to make compromises on several levels and be able to penalize those who go wrong.
