Momo Sissoko calls for action against African racism row doctors

Ex-Liverpool midfielder Mohamed Sissoko believes that the comments made by two French doctors who called for coronavirus vaccine testing to take place in Africa are ‘a scandal’ and has called for action to be taken against the pair.

Camille Locht of Inserm, the French national medical research centre, and Jean-Paul Mira of Cochin Hospital in Paris were debating potential solutions to the Covid-19 crisis on French television channel LCI on Thursday, when the latter questioned whether studies should be undertaken in Africa rather than Europe.

“What the two doctors said is really a scandal,” ex-Mali international Sissoko told Goal.
