Arsenal captain, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been fined $10000 for sharing a series of social media posts that tarnished the 'honour and image' of the Confederation of African Football.
Recall, the Gabonese striker took to social media last month to claim that he and the rest of the Gabon squad were held at Banjul Airport in Gambia for more than six hours overnight after having their passports taken — before being allowed into the country for their Africa Cup of Nations qualifier clash.
He posted images of his team-mates sleeping on the airport floor and claimed they were made to feel like 'hostages' over COVID-19 testing before their clash with Gambia. Aubameyang also called for the CAF to take responsibility and use the disruption to better themselves.
He wrote: 'Nice job CAF, it's as if we were back in the 1990s.'
Before adding: 'It will not demotivate us but people need to know and especially that the @CAF_Online [Confederation of African Football] take these responsibilities,.
'2020 and we want Africa to grow, that's not how we're going to get there!!!'
