Award-winning sports journalist Saddick Adams has revealed damning details about the supposed paralympic team that has gone missing in Norway.
He revealed that the supposed paralympic team is a group of impersonators, holding themselves as members of the real paralympic team who managed to get themselves to Norway for the obvious purpose of absconding.
Mr Adams, who has indepth knowledge of the workings of the team, also revealed that there are about five different fake paralympic teams.
“First of all, the team in Norway is a FAKE Ghana Para Team. The names being mentioned as leaders are past executives of the committee.
"There are about five different teams calling themselves Ghana Para Team despite not being recognized by the government.
"Having worked as a member of LOC for the first Africa Para Games in Accra, I got an insight into the stark divisions and under dealings by especially some former executives of the Paralympic Committee,” he revealed in a social media post.
He intimated that there are always fake teams lurking around to steal the travelling opportunities of real para teams, recounting how a fake amputee had to be stopped by a court from travelling ahead of the real team.
“When the original Ghana Amputee Team Football was preparing for the just ended Amputee AFCON in Egypt, there was also another team training for that same tournament.
"It had to take a court order to stop the fake team from emplaning to Egypt ahead of the official team.
"At the moment, athletes of the official Ghana Paralympic Team who have qualified for the upcoming Paralympic Games in Paris, are already in France for their pre-competition camping,” he added.
News that Ghana’s paralympic team has vanished into thin air upon arrival in Oslo, Norway is making the rounds. But Mr Addams has said it is a fake team.
