hckošice 13,217 Posted April 16, 2016 #84 Share Posted April 16, 2016 even this will not help SVK to qualify, we still need few more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werloc 3,127 Posted April 16, 2016 #85 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I am not even a fan of basketball, but this is beyond ridiculous They want Lithuania out of 2016 Olympics now as well, together with Spain... (That's like 1/5 of our entire squad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Federer91 2,134 Posted April 16, 2016 #86 Share Posted April 16, 2016 All it takes to take out Jordi Bertomeus ClownLeagues out of european basketball. There is enough time till Eurobasket, so i think FIBA is just trying to see if the countries will rethink their participation in ECA/ULEB next season before it starts.

heywoodu 13,540 Posted April 16, 2016 #87 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I'm guessing this might be the end of the Champions League instead of the ridiculous Euroleague?

Bearas 364 Posted April 16, 2016 #88 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I mean NBA is also commercialised and don't share it's profit with FIBA Americas, why USA not banned? If need for money is bigger than sport itself for FIBA - basketball should be dropped from Olympics (same what it was with baseball) or get reduced to U23 (same what it was with football).

EselTheDonkey 657 Posted April 16, 2016 #90 Share Posted April 16, 2016 According to German news agency SID, the FIBA has asked German federation today, if they had "a general interest" to host an Olympic Qualifier. So this means the banned teams might not be allowed to play at the Olympics or the Qualification tournaments either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
