“We try to keep money related issues out of athletes domain. Athletes are supposed to just focus on their training and prepare for the Games. Monies and other administrative issues will be taken care of by the administrators. Money is not an issue.”
“They are in training, they are in camp now and I hope that they will be able to focus on their training, get to Bangkok, put up a good show and Ghana should be able to get maybe about two or three boxers qualify”.
Ghana is set to leave for Thailand on May 20.
