Former President of the Ghana Football Association, Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe says, as a medical Doctor, he can say on authority that Black Stars Keeper, Richard Kingson, popularly known as 'Olele' is an old man well within his 40's and thus, not a good option as Keeper for the Stars in their upcoming world cup qualifier with Egypt. Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe told Nana Kwaku Agyemang on Radio XYZ's 'Sports Chat' programme on Wednesday that 'Olele' is not 35 years old, as he and the GFA claim. �He�s not 35, look don�t tell me Kingson is 35, I�m a Doctor, I�m a medical Doctor. Kingson is not 35. Where are those who have been promoting this kind of rubbish? He�s not 35. Don�t tell me Kingson is 35. Does he look 35 to you? Don�t tell me Kingson is 35 years old, he�s not�, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe thundered on Sports Chat when Nana Kwaku Agyemang brought up the age issue. �The man is definitely 40 years plus�Kingson cannot be 35 years old. What are you telling me? Do you know when Kingson got into football? Do you want to tell me that he was 10, 12 years old when he was keeping the goals for Olympics? Dr. Nyaho-Tamaklor wondered. He said age-cheating �should not be encouraged at all� in any shape or form. As far as Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe is concerned, Richard Kingson�s reflexes have roughened up, thus making him unfit to be Ghana�s number one goalkeeper. He says �Olele�s� inclusion in the squad betrays the desperation of the Coach and the technical team of the Black Stars. Kingson, returns to the Black Stars squad after a two-year absence and is joined by Sulley Muntari, Jordan Ayew and Jerry Akaminko for the October 15 first-leg match. Kingson recently ended his clubless life by joining Cypriot side Doxa Katokopias, where he has manned the post four times and conceded seven goals.
