A big embarrassment for the French luxury club Paris Saint-Germain.
Shortly before the last league game, Ho defeated Montpellier 0-4 away, team contact Idrissa Ghana Gay contacted his coach Mauricio Pochettino and asked not to take part in the game.
The French champions initially issued a laconic statement, saying Gay was absent from the game due to "personal cause", but after Pochettino made it clear it was not an injury, French media began investigating and found the personal cause embarrassing.
Gay, a devout Muslim, refused to play - according to local media reports - because PSG wore uniforms in colors that identify with the LGBT community, as part of the war on homophobia. The team still does not admit the real reason for Gay's absence.
