The Ghana Volleyball Association (GVA) has disassociated itself from comments made by Seidu Ajanako following Ghana's defeat to Morocco in the ongoing African Games.
Ghana lost to Morocco in two straight sets in the quarterfinals of the men's beach volleyball event on Wednesday morning resulting in their elimination from the competition.
Prior to the clash against the North Africans, Ghana had won their first four games of the event since the start of the competition.
Speaking to Joy Sports after the defeat, one of Ghana's players, Ajanako, complained about the team not receiving protective socks for the games which have left them with blisters.
"All our toes are full of blisters because of the heat of the sand. That can also affect you," he said.
"We didn't get the sand socks to wear because they told us there's a shipment coming and it has been delayed."
However, GVA has denied the concerns raised by Ajanako.
In a rejoinder issued on Wednesday evening, the Association disassociates itself from the player's comments claiming the team lost to an 'equally good side'.

Ghana currently boasts five medals from the games so far from weightlifting and swimming.
