Weeks ago, one of the top sporting news was the ban that was placed on 21 players who were allegedly involved in the Ashgold vs Inter Allies match-fixing scandal.
These players were banned by the Ghana Football Association for 24 months with their respective teams also suffering several severe consequences.
The latest development surrounding this issue is that the ban has been lifted by the Court Of Arbitration of Sports (CAS) and this was made known by astute Ghanaian sports presenter, Saddick Adams in a recent post on his verified social media handle on the popular social media platform, Twitter.
The post he made reads;
“BREAK: Can confirm that the Court Of Arbitration of Sports (CAS) has lifted the GFA ban placed on 21 players involved in the Ashgold vs Inter Allies match fixing scandal with immediate effect.
This was after an appeal was filed on the players behalf by FIFPRO through the PFAG.
The players include Frank Akoto, Eric Esso, Amos Kofi Nkrumah, Empem Dacosta, Paul Devries Asare, Amos Addai, Stephen Owusu Banahene etc who were all banned for 24 months.
They’re now cleared
Meanwhile, Kotoko’s Richmond Lamptey whose name was not in the appeal process is having his matter considered by CAS following Kotoko’s application.”
