Coach JE Sarpong must apologise to Ghanaian players after false weed-smoking allegations - Yahaya Mohammed

Published on: 15 June 2020

Aduana Stars striker Yahaya Mohammed is displeased with veteran coach JE Sarpong's false weed-smoking allegations against Ghanaians players in the local league.

Coach Sarpong had alleged the majority of Ghanaian players smoke marijuana, popularly known as weed, and went on to give instances where he helped get weed for a top player of one of his former clubs ahead of a big game.

Yahaya is unhappy with the former Asante Kotoko technical man's recent revelations and has called on him to apologise.

"Coach JE Sarpong must apologise to Ghanaian players. It is time for people to tell the truth to some people like him," Yahaya told Kumasi-based Oyerepa FM.

"His comments that about 60% of Ghanaian players smoke weed are very bad.

"I don’t smoke but look at the people he has coached - like Asamoah Gyan and others.

"Does he know the 60 per cent of 100 players. It is a false statement and should retract the statement.”

Yahaya Mohammed is the second top scorer in the 2019/20 Ghana Premier League which has been suspended due to coronavirus pandemic.

The Premier League was at its match week 15 stage when it was halted with Aduana Stars leading the table with 28 points.
