De La SalleAfter discovering that one of it’s players had counterfeit DECS highschool papers, and therefore could not have been eligible to take a college entrance exam. DLSU offers to relinquish it’s title for Season 67 as well as it’s Season 68 2nd place finish.

Way to go De La Salle… you make me proud… to have taken the higher moral ground. It would have been very tempting to sweep this issue under the rug after discovering the anomaly, but you decided to expose it.

Now that the bar has been set, I wonder if other schools will follow suit and check the credentials of their players?

    Wow, this is really a classy and gutsy move by DLSU..if they really didn’t know about the player’s counterfeit documents then I can say that I’m proud to be from La Salle. hehe. Would you mind telling me who that player is?
