Betting in sports is one thing that is not entertained by the management of the various leagues across the world.
Ghana Football Club has also gotten its shares, with the very immediate one associated with Ashanti Gold Football Club. However, one name that came up was Kumasi-based club Kumasi Asante Kotoko Midfielder Richmond Lamptey who was banned by the Ghana Football Association due to his alleged involvement in betting.
After several deliberations on the issue at the Court of Arbitration for Sports, Lamptey was cleared of the ban and he is now free to take part in the upcoming season.
After several months Richmond Lamptey has now broken his silence on the banned incident.
According to Lamptey he nearly gave up on his dream as a footballer during this process.
“Looking at the pains my parents had to go through when they heard the news, it was not easy l. It’s affected my game level, because I was innocent and yet I had to pay for that, going out was even difficult, comments on social media were even breaking me down which I nearly considered ending my career as a footballer”- he said.
He later thanked the management and the supporters for their support and trust.
I thank the management and supporters for everything in making sure that there’s total peace now”- he added.
