The Senegalese Association of Sports Medicine (ASMS) has publicly defended Dr. Abderahmane Fédiore, a prominent sports physician, and demanded a public apology following what it describes as unfounded allegations against him. The association's statement, issued on July 14, 2026, emphasizes Dr. Fédiore's professional integrity and contributions to sports medicine in Senegal.
According to the ASMS, the allegations, which have not been substantiated by any official investigation, have harmed Dr. Fédiore's reputation and the credibility of the medical profession. The association calls for an immediate retraction and apology from those responsible for spreading the claims.
Dr. Fédiore, known for his work with Senegalese athletes, has not publicly commented on the matter. The ASMS has urged the public and media to respect the presumption of innocence and await the outcome of any formal inquiry.
