Controversies
In 2006 the Tilennan Federation for Men's Stùriá got banned by the AGU on accounts of alleged fraud, bribery, match-fixing and usage of performance-enhancing drugs. The malpractices came to light after a joint investigation by Tilennan and Brigantic officials who had suspicions of corruption within the TFMS. The results got first published in the Tilennan newspaper Glaela and quickly led to public outrage calling for the ban of Tilenno from the AGU. The AGU's best efforts to calm tensions failed and they were forced to enact the ban. This let to the dismantlement of the Tilennan federation and thus the end of the High-Respected Men's Stùriá as the offical team representing Tilenno. In its place came the PSF, Pural Stùres Federation, with the New Pural Men's Stùriá being admitted as the new national team for Tilenno in 2008. Controversies surrounding Tilennan Gridiron have not disappeared as many officials from the TFMS got hired by the PSF in less public functions, raising questions as in how far the PSF is different from the banned TFMS.
