Many of you will remember him with the CSKA Moscow shirt, or for the brief (but not unforgettable) adventure in Serie A with the Roma shirt, which ended with 2 goals in just 13 appearances. The name of Seydou Doumbia has become current again due to a rather curious story.

the exam

Simple rumors or well-founded doubts? The “mystery” linked to Doumbia’s real age has been discussed for years, but what happened recently has only further fueled curiosity and speculation about it. The Ivorian striker, tired of the rumors, underwent a lie detector test. And it was sensationally denied by the polygraph, to the amazement and general laughter. According to the machine, in fact, Doumbia’s real age would not be 37 years, but 42 years, that of a person born in 1982 or 1983.

the questions

These are the answers given by the attacker that the lie detector did not support:

Request: Are you over 40?

Doumbia: “No.” (machine says it’s fake) That’s impossible! (his reaction)

Request: Are you over 45?

Request: So, between 40 and 45. Are you over 42?

Doumbia: “No.” (machine says it’s fake)

Request: “We have established that he is over 40 years old, but under 45, around 42 years old. The question that has tormented millions of people! We have received the answer. He was born in 1982 or 1983.

The last question. Are you 43?”
