Several former Algerian internationals want an investigation to determine if their children's disabilities are linked to doping products they were given in their playing days.
"We have decided to bring this matter up publicly because there are eight former Algerian internationals whose children are handicapped," former defender Mohamed Chaib told AFP on Wednesday.
"We have serious doubts over the effects of medication that we were given during training camps. We just want the truth," added Chaib, who is the father of three disabled girls.
"Nobody has dared to bring up this subject before. People have chosen to forget about what happened but we have been suffering for more than two decades now," Mohamed Kaci Said, a former midfielder, was quoted as saying in the Sunday edition of the newspaper El Watan.
The players all represented Algeria in the 1980s.
