The never ending Ghana Olympic Committee saga yesterday took a personal twist as the Chairman of the Ghana Athletics Association, Professor Francis Dodoo filed a GH¢200,000 defamation suit against outgoing Vice President of the recently suspended Ghana Olympic Committee, Frank Appiah.
The former triple jumper’s action is in respect of an allegation by Mr. Appiah that Dodoo once failed dope test.
Mr. Kissi Agyebeng, lawyer for Professor Dodoo confirmed the court action and said Frank Appiah has turned down several requests for him to retract the allegation.
Meanwhile, Frank Appiah has told Joy Sports he is ready to face Professor Dodoo at the law Court.
