On 20 May 2026, the FIBA Disciplinary Panel released a decision involving two foreign-import players previously registered to a local basketball club in Singapore. The decision named the two players as Oleksandr Kolchenko and Sergii Pryimak, and named the club as Adroit Basketball Club.

Both players were found to have manipulated the club’s game against New Taipei Kings International, and Oleksandr Kolchencko was found to have further manipulated the club’s game against Hi Tech Club, during the Champions League East Asia back in May 2025.

FIBA’s decision was to impose a lifetime ban on these two players from participating in any FIBA or FIBA-related activities, whether in the capacity of a player or otherwise. This lifetime ban applies to BAS’ activities as well.

In line with FIBA’s strict stance on the matter, BAS takes a serious view of these unacceptable actions which have severely undermined the principles of fair play and impacted the reputation of Singapore basketball. Clubs and athletes representing Singapore basketball are expected to uphold the highest standards of fair play and the integrity of the sport. BAS does not condone any actions that could undermine this commitment and we will continue to actively monitor all sanctioned tournaments and events. BAS maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy against match-fixing, and we will not hesitate to take disciplinary action against anyone found to have compromised fair play.
