Joseph Minala, the Lazio youth teamer, did not lie about his age, the Italian Football Association (FIGC) has ruled.
A report earlier this year stated the Cameroonian was 42 and not 17 as he had claimed to be, which prompted an investigation from the league's federal prosecutor.
"The investigation did not show any need for disciplinary action," said a statement on the FIGC's website.
