North African side Club Africain are due to subject their players to a medical as the Tunisians investigate their defeat to TP Mazembe.

The Stade Olympique Rades outfit succumbed to a heavy 8-0 battering to DR Congo giants and former Champions League title holders TP Mazembe.

Kevin Mondeko, Jackson Muleka, and Tresor Mputu Mabi each netted twice as Mike Miche and Elia banged in one each to wrap up a record Total CAF Champions League group stage win over the visiting North Africans.

Saturday’s loss, which inevitably attracted headlines across the globe prompting the resignation of gaffer Chiheb Ellili, left the Africain board gobsmacked.

Taking umbrage over the score, the board’s chairman Abdelssalam Younsi is suspicious something is amiss and has ordered for a thorough medical be made on the players, according to a source.

So angry are the capital side over their embarrassing loss that they bothered not to post the outcome of the match on their website.

Younsi is believed to be strongly convinced the outcome doesn’t add up and hopes to find traces –if any –of what he feels triggered the quick “exhaustion” of his players during Saturday’s encounter.

Giving the humiliated side another cause to launch a probing is player Hamza Agrebi’s loss of consciousness twice during the game
