Cape Town - Suspended Premier Soccer League general manager Ace Ncobo has resigned from the PSL after he failed a polygraph test.

Ncobo was hoping to clear his name after suspended PSL referee Jonas Nhlapho made allegations against him recently relating to match-fixing.

Ncobo answered “NO” to the question about whether he had asked Nhlapho if he was taking bribes from Orlando Pirates, as it was alleged by the latter that he did ask him. Ncobo’s response was treated as inconclusive.

The test was conducted by Alethea Polygraph Services after Ncobo agreed to it after Nhlapho’s allegations a couple of weeks ago.

However, Johann Lamprecht, who conducted the test, admitted afterwards in an interview with the media that the failed test doesn’t mean Ncobo was lying, stating that it was inconclusive as to whether he was “being deceitful or emotional”.

For his part, Ncobo is not “fazed” by the failed test and insists it could be that he was emotional.
