سيدو دومبيا: جهاز كشف الكذب يثير الشكوك حول عمره

An unexpected controversy is swirling around Seydou Doumbia, the Ivorian striker who retired in 2022. According to La Gazzetta, a lie detector test has cast doubt on Doumbia’s official age.

The player denied being over 40 and denied being 43 years old. But the polygraph indicated that both statements were false, suggesting he could be about five years older than what’s listed in official records. For now, no official investigation has been launched and authorities have yet to respond.

Seydou Doumbia played for prestigious clubs such as CSKA Moscow, Roma, Newcastle United, and Sporting Lisbon. Renowned for his speed, power, and clinical finishing, he hung up his boots after a long international career.
