Sports

Ghanaian referee Kenney Padi says he lost his erection after officiating in the Super Clash game between Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak in the Ghana Premier League Week 24 fixture.

He laments that he also lost sleep as he daily has terrible nightmares.

The referee awarded a controversial penalty to Asante Kotoko which enabled the league leaders to beat their arch-rivals by a lone goal at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.

According to the referee, “I have not had erection since the day I awarded the penalty against Hearts of Oak”.

Sometimes I get strange and horrific nightmares, I can’t sleep.”

On its part, the Ghana Football Association Match Review Panel has suspended referee Kenny Padi for the rest of the season after he was found guilty of erring in the penalty decision in the league game between Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko.
