The Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA) has fined Kumasi Asante Kotoko GH�10,000 (US$ 6,600) and also handed the club a one-year ban for boycotting the medal ceremony of the President�s Cup last week. The club will also forfeit the cash prize due them for participating in the Cup match played at the Accra Sport Stadium on 1 July 2011. GHALCA has also referred the act to the Ghana Football Association�s disciplinary committee for further sanctions. �Kotoko have been fined GH�10,000. The club will also lose the money they were supposed to take for playing the match and receive a year ban from all GHALCA organised competitions,� Interim chairman Alhaji Raji Ali told Ghanasoccernet.com. �We want the GFA to take further action on the matter because we have a borderline and can�t go beyond that.� The Porcupine Warriors unceremoniously left the field of play after being dealt a 7-6 penalty blow by the League champions Berekum Chelsea under the eyes of Ghana�s Vice President John Mahama and other dignitaries. The club were furious with referee Awal Mohammed for ordering the re-take of two missed spot-kicks. This means Kotoko, which placed second in the just-ended season, will not take part in the pre-season Top 4 tournament.
