FIBA accuses FEBABU of backing Dynamo to abstain from playing BAL games if not permitted to play without the Visit Rwanda sponsor display on their jerseys during the Kalahari Conference games held in Pretoria, South Africa, in March resulting to club’s disqualified from the tournament.<\/p>\n

\u201cFEBABU is provisionally suspended, pending resolution of the present disciplinary proceedings by decision of the FIBA Central Board,\u201d a letter addressed to FEBABU president Jean-Paul Manirakiza on Friday, April 12, reads in part.<\/p>\n

In the case of reference, FIBA said, FEBABU’s actions constitute an infringement of applicable provisions of the FIBA general statutes, bringing discredit and disrepute to FIBA and tarnishing the image and reputation of the sport of basketball.<\/p>\n

The letter noted that national member federations must observe the FIBA general statutes, the internal regulations, and other rules, regulations, and decisions of FIBA.<\/p>\n

But, following Dynamo’s BAL saga, FIBA summed up the situation in a view that FEBABU’s actions are against the promotion of the interests of basketball.<\/p>\n

FEBABU has until April 23 to have submitted explanations, statements, and evidence to FIBA.<\/p>\n
