    That is the worst thing I have ever heard in my life. It shows how stupid some Africans like Abedi could be. I thought he had some dignity but this supposition that he went along with the idea has taken of any shred of respe ...

  • JAY 6 years ago

    If this article is true,it means Abedi Pele is CORRUPT, conspiring with Bernard Tapie to bribe Monaco that is a criminal offence,I hope the French Police look into this story be it true or false

  • JAY 6 years ago

    Reading and analysing this article,it looks like Abedi Pele was used and abused by Marseille FC,because they would never have done that to a WHITE person and also a WHITE footballer would not agree with Tapie to label him as ...

    Poor Africans. Abedi should have sued and the sign for Monaco. Marseille would never have done this to a European player.

  • don 6 years ago

    It seems you didn't well bruh. And do was only asked not to accept any blood test. That was it. He didn't know what was said behind closed doors.

  • Baron 6 years ago

    Those insulting Pele and Africans, the man was following orders that is he shouldn't allow them to take his blood sample but didn't know what was behind. Even if he did know, we are no angels ourselves.

  • 3dem 6 years ago

    Pele was told to refuse a blood test but wad not told went be was to refuse. Then they ahead to claim he was HIV+. I don't think pele knew their intention. This could have ruined him. This is selfish. Probably the other club ...

    Would the owner of Marseilles have done the same with a French player? This guy is definitely part of the scum of the earth to stoop to such depths to achieve his aim. He played on the naivety of Abedi Pele in an opportunisti ...

    Abedi was not desperately looking for a job. He was the hottest player in France by then. He had the option to choose between Monaco and Marseille. Monaco was richer but the young man wanted to continue his carrier with Marse ...
