Founder and owner of the Edmond Michael Football Foundation, Rodney Michael have secured a high court injunction as he seeks to clear his name in Civil Court over an alleged involvement in match fixing.

Former Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) Presidential aspirant who was disqualified from the August 3rd  2013 presidential race on his association as a Consultant for sports betting company, Mercury International hopes to prove his innocence in the said SLFA match-fixing allegations.

Michael’s legal team which is headed by Emmanuel Saffa Abdulai-who is also Secretary General of the Old Edwardians Football Club, confirmed the news of the injunction.

He said: “The court has granted an injunction against the suspension, meaning the decision to suspend Rodney Michael without a hearing and right denying him to respond to the charges has been put on hold by the injunction, until the court listens to arguments from both parties.

Rodney Michael who is presently in UK said he was not worried about the FA’s allegation because there is a hidden motive by them (the Football Association).

He said: “The FA considers me an opposition and as such would want to tarnish my image and destroy my reputation I have worked so hard for over my last 28 years in football.”  

Super as he is fondly called amongst football stakeholders further revealed that with his  legal team now dealing with the matter he has also made his feelings known to FIFA which he said have been referred to the FIFA Disciplinary committee for further investigation.

Rodney alongside 14 others including some current players and referees were suspended on allegations of match-fixing.
