FIFA banned Lamptey for life in March 2017 following allegations he manipulated the result of a match between South Africa and Senegal in a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying match on 12 November 2016.^[2] During the match, Lamptey wrongly awarded a penalty against Senegal's Kalidou Koulibaly, leading to a complaint by the Senegal Football Association. Following the upholding of Lamptey's ban by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, FIFA announced the match would be replayed.^[1]
