Versatile former Super Eagles defender Taribo West feels vindicated after Inter Milan doctor Piero Volpi and manager of the club when he turned out for the Italian Serie A giants between 1997 and 1999 Gigi Simone rubbished the allegation that he falsified his age.
Erstwhile Partizan Belgrade President Zarko Zecevic claimed earlier this month that when Taribo joined the Serbian club from German Bundesliga side Kaiserslautern in 2001 he was 40 years old.
But the Atlanta ’96 Olympic Games gold medallist dismissed Zecevic’s claim, saying it had no substance.
He added, “But it is curious that they are raising such matters about 10 years after I left the place. Why was the matter not raised while I was there?
