Drogba In Caf Trouble by vikiviko(m): 11:04am On Feb 06, 2008
Didier Drogba says he does not wish to be considered for future African player of the year awards after Frederic Kanoute won the 2007 title

"I was told if I didn't appear the rules would change and the prize would go to the runner-up," he said.

"This attitude doesn't honour Africa so I've pulled out of future elections."

Caf spokesman Suleiman Habuba told BBC Sport that there was nothing sinister in Kanoute winning the accolade.

When asked directly if Caf had threatened Drogba that he would not win the award if he did not go to Lome, Habuba flatly denied the accusation.

He also denied Drogba was the rightful winner of the trophy.

"The Caf executive committee announced the winner, Frederic Kanoute, after the vote was counted," he said.



What the do you think?
Do you think he was striped of the award as he claims?
