Ghana has rejoined the International Olympics Movement after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) lifted the suspension imposed on Ghana in January.
The IOC suspended Ghana because of concerns with the country’s sports law, which it did not find compatible with the principles and rules of the Olympic Charter.
The decision to lift the ban had been pending for some time after a meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland between the IOC, the Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC) and Government, the IOC said in recognition of the progress made, the IOC Executive Board would consider the lifting of the suspension following the passage by Parliament of the new Sports Legislative Instrument that will replace LI 1088.
With the suspension imposed on Ghana lifted Ghana can now participate in the upcoming Olympic Games to be held in London in 2012.
