Moroccan disabled cyclist on world tour
Accra (Greater Accra) 25 July 2002- Vanquished Kumasi Asante Kotoko,
who are still brooding over their 3-0 bashing by Accra Hearts of Oak last
Sunday, are to appear before the Ghana Football Association's disciplinary
committee for their "ungentlemanly conduct which brought the game into
disrepute".
Kotoko refused to use the dressing room for fear that their players
could be hypnotised under black magic they suspected to have been planted by
Hearts officials and therefore chose to dress up on the tartan track.
A source at the GFA told the GNA Sports in Accra that much as the
association has no specific regulation, which compels teams to use the dressing
rooms, Kotoko's action could attract a sanctioned on grounds that it brought
the game into disrepute.
The source said there is no fixed sanctioned for such offences but the
committee would use its discretion based on the evidence adduced and reasons
assigned by Kotoko for its action. He said the GFA would meet later to find
ways of incorporating a specific article with appropriate sanction for such a
conduct.
