Sofapaka's Okoth lashes out at 'racist' French doctors over coronavirus vaccine row

The striker reveals his displeasure at the comments made by the medical professionals as the world looks for ways to combat the pandemic

Sofapaka striker Ronald Okoth has blasted the French doctors who suggested coronavirus vaccine tests should be tested in Africa.

Professors Jean-Paul Mira and Camille Locht made the comments during an interview with French TV channel LCI, and attracted responses from notable African football figures.

In an interview with Goal, Okoth believes both Mira and Locht sounded racist and stressed Africa cannot be the place to test those vaccines for the first time.
