He noted that the company is carrying out its own independent investigation and would withdraw their scholarship if it is discovered that she had willfully manipulated her results; if found, however, that she didn’t, Cornel notes that the scholarship would stand, whether or not she’s the top scorer.

Sergio Aguero under investigation for ‘instigating violence’ Former Manchester City star Sergio Aguero is currently being investigated for allegedly instigating violence against a referee with his online commentary during a match between Independiente and Racing Club last month. During the Avellaneda derby, the referee awarded the latter a penalty in the first half which helped them to equalize through Matias Rojas.  This left the Argentine superstar who started his football career at Independiente fuming. He hurled abuse at the official during a live session on Twitch. “How can he, the referee, what the f**k is his name… Yael Falcon Perez. Listen to me, Yael Falcon, that name is a disaster. You can say [the penalty], it starts outside and ends up inside. But he goes on to say ‘where the first contact is made is where the foul is called’. The truth is that he’s ready to kick the s**t out of this fathead,” he allegedly stated. AS has now reported that Aguero is being investigated by the Agency for the Prevention of Violence in Sport over the remark. Sergio Aguero under investigation for ‘instigating violence’ The agency head Eduardo Aparicio said; “Comments made by the former soccer player, internationally recognised as a supporter of Independiente, Sergio Leonel Aguero, have come out in the media, about the work carried out by the referee Yael Falcon Perez in the match in question, in which there was a disputed play that led to a penalty in favour of the visiting club. “It is necessary to mention that his comments towards the referring authority – aggressive and demeaning – clearly contravene the current regulations on sports safety and could be interpreted as instigating violence. [There have been] threats received by referee Yael Falcon Perez and his family, [and] flares launched at his mother’s home.” This is not the first time Aguero has been caught up in a controversy. He launched a scathing attack at Zlatan Ibrahimovic earlier this year after the Swedish forward claimed that Argentina would not win any further World Cups after the departure of Lionel Messi. Moreover, he was called a ‘son of a b*tch’ by Pablo Duggan, an Argentine journalist, after he suggested the dollarisation of Argentina’s economy.
