UEFA bans Reds鈥 Sakho for 30 days
Print Edition
LIVERPOOL defender Mamadou Sakho was yesterday provisionally suspended for 30 days after failing a drugs test, European football’s governing body UEFA announced.
The France international reportedly tested positive for a fat burner after the Reds’ 1-1 draw with Manchester United in the Europa League on March 17.
“Disciplinary proceedings have been instigated against Liverpool FC player Mamadou Sakho, following the UEFA Europa League round of 16 second-leg match between Manchester United FC and Liverpool FC (1-1), played on 17 March,” UEFA said in a statement.
It added: “The proceedings relate to a violation of the UEFA Anti-Doping Regulations, after the player failed a doping test at the above-mentioned match.
“The player did not request the analysis of the B sample. UEFA has now suspended the player provisionally for 30 days until a final decision is taken by the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body.”
A date for the hearing has yet to be fixed.
Liverpool left Sakho out of its Premier League game against Newcastle last Saturday, clarifying that he will not be selected during his UEFA process.
The 26-year-old is said not to have known the composition of the weight-loss supplement and has informed the club he acted in good faith.
The defender is in danger of missing the finale to Liverpool’s Europa League challenge, with the team at Villarreal in the semifinal first leg yesterday.
