Ghana Football Association has accepted the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) verdict on Richmond Lamptey and 21 other players.
In a landmark decision, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled in favor of Asante Kotoko midfielder Richmond Lamptey, upholding his appeal against the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
CAS also ruled in favour of the players involved in the alleged match-fixing incident between AshantiGold and Inter Allies two seasons ago.
For their suspected involvement in influencing the results of a Ghana Premier League encounter on match day 34, which AshantiGold won 7-0, the GFA's Disciplinary Committee sanctioned 21 players, 14 of whom played for AshantiGold. Hashmin Musah, an Inter Allies player, said that he scored two own goals to thwart the match-fixing scheme in a post-game interview.
Some players were given 30-month bans for their role in fixing the game while others received a 48-month ban.
The verdict, announced today, marks a significant turning point in players' careers and sets a precedent for future player disputes within the Ghanaian football environment.
The Richmond Lamptey will receive $3,456.80 as compensation.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) verdict also states that the Ghana Football Association should pay the other 21 players $345.77 each as compensation.
