Ghana's Bernard Kumordzi has revealed the real reason that led to his extra one-month suspension for testing positive for using banned substances in Belgium.

The 33-year-old KV Kortrijk midfielder, who finished serving a four-month ban was handed an extra month suspension for violating the terms of return.

According to the former KRC Genk player, the situation miscommunicated to him.

"Everything was in Dutch I did not know I was not allowed to train with the team, I did three trainings and 45 minutes practice match, that was all I was not well informed my lawyer just said I was suspended for four months, without further explanation," the midfielder explains.

"Beware, that man did his job well, I could have gotten a much longer suspension, and it was just a miscommunication.

"I was especially disappointed. When you are suspended for four months, that end date is of course constantly in your head," he added.

"I first went back to Ghana for two weeks, I had been strong for four months, so I could handle that month, even if it was difficult."
