The medal was however contested by the Ivoirians.According to them, one of the Ghanaian players was above the required age of 19 years.When asked why Ghana was stripped off the gold and later awarded the silver medal, the technical director of the Volley ball competition explained “Ghana featured an over age player and when that was discovered, the girl was disqualified and the rules of the games was applied. The point was then awarded to the opposing team”.Ivory Coast was eventually awarded the gold, Ghana the silver and Sierra Leone the bronze.In the men’s division, Ghana won the Gold without any complaint.
