1-In 2002, Chievo Verona’s
Brazilian winger Eriberto was exposed to have been using a fake passport.
He
had been using the identity of his neighbor Eriberto Conceição da Silva’, born in
Rio de Janeiro on January 21, 1979.
He had assumed this identity to join the Palmeiras youth
squad, as he was too old.
His real name was ‘Luciano Siqueira de Oliveira’ (born
on December 3, 1975). He had revealed this deception to give his son his true
name.
He was handed a six-month ban and received a $145,000 fine.
