The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has rubbished reports by a section of the Ghanaian media that the Black Stars gambled during the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.
The GFA has warned that it could take legal against those propagating 'false rumours' over the Black Stars in the wake of their elimination from the tournament.
This comes after a local radio reported that some players were indulged in gambling during the tournament.
But the GFA has rejected the report saying they could be forced to take action over it the 'false reports'.
"We wish to state categorically that no Black Stars player gambled during the tournament and the report has no basis in fact," the GFA statement said.
"We call on the general public to ignore all such stories as we remain focused and committed to finding the reasons why the team failed to win the Nations Cup trophy.
"It is worth noting that nearly forty Ghanaian journalists spent most of their day (during the tournament) in the Black Stars camp in Ngouni yet did not see or report on any such act.
"Since the Black Stars returned from the tournament, several false reports have been made in the media about why the team failed to win the trophy.
"We strongly urge the media to desist from spreading unsubstantiated rumours which could have far-reaching consequences."
The GFA will hold a press conference on Wednesday to address the media's concerns in relation to Ghana's participation in the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.
