Hang on a minute, there is no hard evidence to show that NZF chose to ignore the law. If Arthur Allan Thomas or David Bain had been convicted on as much evidence there would be an uproar. Try putting your prejudice against NZF to one side and just deal with PROVEN facts
As an edit: I don't buy this 'the law is the law ' stuff either. If it was, we would have no lawyers, no judicial system, no common law, and no changes to the law because the original one was wrong.
Very reliable sauces say they did plus if they knew about de Vries and followed the rules. They knew.
Glyn Taylor, national operations manager at NZF for 9 years until 2013, says he had Fifa notification of De Vries ineligibility on NZF's files. I read this days ago. And here it is now on YF own News thread: "Ex-officials say NZF should have known FIFA eligibility rules." If it was on file they knew. Or at the very least they should have known. And if not they're grossly negligent. Why do you keep suggesting otherwise?
if he was there in 2013 then how did Musa go to London 2012?
Good question. Steven Holloway or Andrew Gouldie or Sarah Harvey should ask him (G Taylor).
