Regarding PSS Sleman Fake Doctors, PSSI Chairman: That's The Club's Responsibility

PSSI Chairman Mochamad Iriawan/DOC VOI-Ulfa Gusti Utami

JAKARTA - Recently, there have been reports that PSS Sleman has hired a team doctor who turned out to be a fake. The chairman of PSSI, Mochamad Iriawan, also responded to this case, who emphasized that the club is responsible for handling it.

"Yes, the person concerned claims to be an alumnus of the Faculty of Medicine, Syiah Kuala University, Banda Aceh. He has also been a doctor at several clubs," said Iriawan in a statement received by VOI, Saturday, December 4.

"At PSS Sleman, his identity was later revealed. It turns out that Elwizan Aminudin is not a doctor. Actually this is a team official affair, it is not the domain of PSSI. That is the responsibility of the club," he said.

The doctor, who was allegedly a fake, was named Elwizan Aminudin, who turned out to be not only treating PSS Sleman. Elwizan is known to have also joined Persita Tangerang, Central Kalimantan Putra, Sriwijaya FC, Bali United, Central Kalimantan Putra and even the Indonesian national team.

Regarding the fake doctor who had handled the national team, this was also confirmed by Iriawan. But when Elwizan was in charge of the age category national team, it was not yet the era of Iriawan's management.

This case is clearly something that Iriawan regrets because it will clearly harm the team where the perpetrator joins.

"It is true that he was once a national team doctor in 2018, but not for long because he was only a substitute doctor," he said.

"However, I deeply regret the actions of individuals like this. It is very detrimental to the team," he explained.

The case of Elwizan, who is suspected of being a fake doctor, first emerged through an upload on Twitter. The account @igbalamine89 calls Elwizan Aminudin a fake doctor because he is not registered with IDI, DIKTI, and KKI.
