striker Asamoah Gyan and 39 other football stars in the country, guilty
of breaking ethical rules by keeping un-Islamic hair.

Islamic teachings reportedly ban ‘Qaza’ hairstyles because parts of the head are not shaved.
The ban comes after Gyan showed off his new mohawk – with ‘3’ shaved
into the hair side – during the just concluded African Nations Cup.
