PREMIER LEAGUE PLAYERS TO BE TAKEN THROUGH DOPING TEST

SPORTS LOUNGE can exclusively reveal that the Ghana football Association has put in place measures to take the Ghana premier league players through doping test.

According to the FA, the Association has received numerous information stating that most players in the domestic league use performance enhancing drugs ahead of games to boost their energy level during football games.

The FA’s medical officer Dr. Prince Pambo said the FA has assigned him to ensure that the exercise takes place. According to him, the executive committee of the Ghana football Association have had a meeting to ensure that they have a very competitive league.

“The executive committee of the Ghana football Association has had several meetings and we are going to ensure that we have a competitive league . We don’t want to just look at how people play but also know what they do before”.

“ We want to see to it that opposing side who are contending for a trophy are contending on the field of fair play. We want to see to it that they don’t use any performance enhancing drugs, and these drugs of course if they do give you performance enhancement, they also have a side effect as well on our players and I think the FA is going to ensure that the sanity in our league is brought up. He told Accra based radio station, Montie FM.

The League resumes and enters its week 18 on Wednesday 26^th February .
