Old Titan Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Mike Brown reports on his blog that the Belize National Team, which last summer included ORU's Kyron Stokes, has won an appeal with FIBA regarding the eligibility of several players (including Kyron) during the COCABA basketball championship in Mexico this past August. This not only means the Belize team gets their silver medals from the tournament; it also means Kyron should be eligible to continue playing for Belize in upcoming international competitions, including the Olympics, should they qualify. International Court Confirms Silver Medal For Belize, Stokes (Mike Brown's ORU Blog 5/2/10) For those of you who may have missed this saga while the "orusports.com" forum was down for repairs last August, here's a link to the Rivals.com message board that some of us used during that time, with a thread detailing all the international intrigue that went on, including boycotts, backroom deals, Kyron's "Twitter" account being quoted on international basketball websites around the globe, and finally a rigged outcome for the host Mexico team in the championship game: Kyron's Excellent Belize Adventure (Rivals.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
