Africa’s number one Table Tennis player, Quadri Aruna has called out Table Tennis governing body. World Table Tennis over the injustice meted out to him for missing two major tournaments.
Aruna in a post on his social media page was quoted as saying “Two ranking penalties in two consecutive months plus monetary penalty” said such injustice will not be acceptable.
The African Games’ silver medallist revealed that his crime is being an African who has maintained Top 20 in the World.
The Commonwealth silver medalist said, “My first sin is because I was sick with chronic diarrhea. I was not able to participate in the World Championships in Korea and I could not get a doctor’s report on time while on sick bed.
“My appeal was rejected because I am black from Nigeria and Africa.
“My second sin is because I decided to represent my club that is paying me a salary: I could not participate in the WTT CHAMPIONSHIP in Korea. Meanwhile, I informed WTT one month before the start of WTT CHAMPIONSHIP in Korea that I had club engagement.
“It’s really now a sin to come from Africa, Nigeria and to be a black player and stay in the top 20.
“All of these penalties come from WTT. Such an injustice is totally unacceptable and should not be waived,” he queried.
