Ghanaian and KV Kortrijk midfielder Bernard Kumordzi is delighted to play his first match after the expiration of his six-month doping ban.

The defender-cum-midfielder was slapped with the ban after testing positive for the banned substance.

Kumordzi tested positive on 15 October 2017 after the match against Standard Liege.

During that test, the concentration of Carboxy-THC in the urine sample was found to be just too high and another test turned out to be positive.

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the psychoactive substance in cannabis, so it is not a performance-enhancing drug.

However, over the weekend, he featured for KV Kortrijk in their 2-1 away win over KV Oostende.

"It's nice that I can do the things I like to do again", says Bernard Kumordzi.
"After almost six months without playing, it was really great, and we immediately win a lot of it."
