The former president of Partizan Belgrade said that "he joined us
saying he was 28. We only later found out he was 40, but he was still
playing well so I don't regret having him on the team."
West, who is now a devoted pastor, moved to Partizan in 2002 from
Derby County. He told reporters on Wednesday that: "I don't really
know what they are talking about and that's why I don't really have
anything much to say.
"But it is curious that they are raising such matter about 10 years
after I left the place. Why was the matter not raised while I was
there? Why talk about it long after I retired from the game.
"I think he is out of his mind. If I were 40 in 2002/2003 (season) as
he claimed,how old would be now? He is not a serious man," Taribo
countered in an interview with Complete Sports.
"After I left the club, I still played for seven or so more years at
the top level. I don't know how that is possible if I was indeed 40
then as he claimed.
"I am just going to ignore him because his allegation is standing
logic on its head."
