Yahaya Mohammed calls on J.E Sarpong to apologise to local players over false weed-smoking comments

Published on: 15 June 2020

Aduana Stars striker Yahaya Mohammed says veteran Ghanaian coach J.E Sarpong should render an apology for defamatory comments against local-based footballers.

Last week, the outspoken trainer alleged that 60 per cent of Ghanaian local-based players smoke marijuana, 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.

Sarpong's claims have not been taken lightly by Aduana Stars frontman Yahaya, who believes it's not true and implored the coach to issue an apology to local footballers.

“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 was the second top scorer in the Premier League before the season went on recess due to the coronavirus crisis.
