I\u2019m not blaming the athletes; I\u2019m blaming the GAA because they are supposed to handle these athletes. People are talking about personal best but we sent our athletes to go win medals,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Lutterodt also called for an immediate probing into the $84,600 donated by the Ministry of Youth Sports ahead of the games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is complete waste of money. We need to know what that money was used for because the tickets are paid for by the IAAF for the athletes and the chair and the secretary General. Accommodation there is free because you are in the game village, so they should explain what that $84,600 was used for,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 48 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports News of Tuesday, 15 August 2017 Source: classfmonline.com 2017-08-15 The IAAF is a biennial athletics event which sees several countries participating &#13; Former chairman of the Ghana Athletics Association (GAA), George Haldane Lutterodt, has branded Team Ghana\u2019s performance at the just ended IAAF World Championship in London as \u201cdisastrous\u201d.
