Ghana Football Association vice president Fred Pappoe has criticized Asante Kotoko for boycotting last Friday�s medal presentation of the President�s Cup. The Kumasi-based side attacked referee Awal Mohammed for his decision to order a re-take of two penalties which were initially missed by Berekum Chelsea players. They lost out on lifting the trophy in a 7-6 shoot-out defeat and in protest, snubbed the runners-up medals. The club could face a GFA sanction and Pappoe says their action in the presence of Ghana vice president John Mahama was unfortunate. �The decision not to accept the medals was quite unfortunate. The Vice President was there and they shouldn�t have acted the way they did,� he commented. Kotoko in 2005 walked off the pitch against Heart of Lions after a penalty was awarded the latter during a Top 4 tournament at the Accra Sports Stadium.
