Ghanaian Judoka Emmanuel Nartey has been ejected from the Ghanaian contingent and the 2014 Commonwealth Games Village for gross indiscipline with immediate effect<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Nartey\u2019s accreditation for the Commonwealth Games has also been withdrawn by the Ghana Olympic Committee with immediate effect.<\/p>\n

Nartey, who is a serving officer in the British Army, showed gross disrespect to the Ghanaian officials after he was paid his allowances on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

Nartey accosted Ghana\u2019s Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports\u00a0Vincent Oppong\u00a0Asamoah,\u00a0about payment for expenses he insisted he had incurred, but for which he had not yet presented receipts.<\/p>\n

He reacted disrespectfully when GOC officials asked him to channel the request through the Judo Federation officials, with the appropriate supporting documentation.<\/p>\n

He started casting aspersions, calling the officials derogatory names while suggesting the amount to be paid him was very little compared to expenses that other athletes had been reimbursed for.<\/p>\n

Despite pleas from his colleague judokas and coaches to withdraw his earlier statements and apologise,\u00a0he\u00a0failed to apologise to the Deputy Minister and GOC officials for his insulting behavior.<\/p>\n

Nartey exited the judo competition at the ongoing Commonwealth Games last week.<\/p>\n
