The
executive committee of Gambia Volleyball Federation has expelled Pa Sanu Secka
of Gamtel/cel volleyball club for life following a gross misconduct by the
player on 22 August 2016 in a game against Serrekunda east in Banjul.
The
former Gambian international, physically assaulted assistant referee Ebrima
Ndow, disrupted the game and destroyed the Federation’s scoreboard.
This
bad behaviour and absolute indiscipline is totally against the rules and
regulations of the Federation, as mentioned in article 14 of the rules which
says: “Any team or individual that is caught using abusive language or physically
assaulting referee / match official / match commissioner / organizing committee
or the executive committee of the Gambia Volleyball Federation will be dealt
with by the organizing committee and the decision will be final and any player
or officer who is suspended will not participate in all the activities of the
Gambia Volleyball Federation, during his or her suspension period and will be
excluded from National duty.
Therefore
the national league organizing committee and the executive committee have come
to a final conclusion to ban Mr Pa Sanu Secka of Gamtel/cel volleyball club
from all activities of the Gambia Volleyball Federation both national and
international for life and any volleyball activity organized or that involves
the National Federation, Sanu Secka will not play. He is not allowed at venues
where the volleyball federation is holding their activities.
In
this respect the GVBF has copied the National Sports Council, the Inspector
General of Police and the Managing Director of Gamtel/Gamcel.
This
action is contrary to the rules and regulation of the GVBF. It is unbearable,
unprofessional and unacceptable.
The
Gambia Volleyball Federation will impose tough sanctions to individuals and
clubs that go contrary to its rules and regulations and against the best
interest of the game.
All
players, officials and clubs are therefore encouraged to abide by the rules and
regulations to ensure standards in our beautiful game.
