BUENOS AIRES, July 22 : Argentina's football association on Wednesday said it was "completely untrue" that its president Claudio Tapia or treasurer Pablo Toviggino had been summoned to give evidence by U.S. courts.

The association added it was also false that their mobile phones or any other electronic devices had been seized.

Local media had reported that FBI agents detained Tapia and requested his devices before a charter flight carrying the Argentina squad departed from New York.
