Former Techiman Eleven Wonders boss Takyi Arhin has been left embarrassed, humiliated and without a trace in the most despicable manner after being called out over a recent Court of Arbitration for Sport claim involving Wilfred Kweku Osei "Palmer" and the Ghana Football Association.
Arhin, nicknamed "Thunder" has been left to grapple with public ridicule after being exposed for lying and has now thrown his credibility, if any into the dogs.
The loud-mouthed, who is without a club affiliation, claimed in the most shameless manner that he has secured an executive summary of the ruling from the global sports tribunal on Tuesday.
But CAS' decision to extend the verdict for the much-anticipated case to September 1, 2020, means Mr Arhin brazenly lied in the most unbelievable manner, leaving him to hide in a rat hole amid an incessant pressure from the local media.
The obvious untruth sparked anxiety among supporters of both the appellant and the defendant in the famous case which has far-reaching implication on the direction of Ghana football.
The courageous lie cooked in the "bellytician" belly of the former Aduana Stars and Bofoakwa Tano official has sparked a massive wave of criticism and attack for his misleading and lying claims.
Hasaacas chief executive Samuel Arbuah coined the "bellytician" term for a man largely regarded as a walking contradiction and without shame.
Arhin made a sensational U-turn after campaigning vigorously for Palmer in the lead up to the Ghana Football Association election prior to his disqualification from the race.
He has since been on wanton spree- attacking any individual who hold contrary opinion on the direction of football in the West African nation - a stance which has sparked anger among several football aficionados.
Indeed, watchers have won current boss Kurt Okraku to be wary of unscrupulous characters masquerading in the corridors of power - who have been cited as one of the reasons Ghana football has been limping as President Okraku attempts to restore hope.
Palmer dragged the FA to the apex of world sports court after he was disqualified from contesting the 2019 Presidential election by the Normalisation Committee.
There are two things likely to happen - CAS to throw out the case and allow the status quo to remain or order for a re-run of the election if it was deemed the plaintiff was unfairly disqualified from the race.
CAS will announce the decision whether to uphold Palmer's quest to annul the election and order for fresh polls to decide on a new President for the GFA or allow the status quo to remain.
The situation has put the presidency of Kurt Okraku on the line with wide-reaching implications if Palmer becomes successful.
The ruling from CAS will put to rest months of intense anxiety involving all the principal actors.
An initial ruling on July 17, 2020 was postponed to Tuesday August 4, 2020 and now fixed for September 1, 2020.
