After the first leg of the Europa League semi-final against Manchester United, 30-year-old Athletic defender Yeray Álvarez admitted on his social media page that he had been suspended from football due to a disciplinary review regarding the result of a doping test.
UNN reports with reference to El País.
Details
Athletic Club central defender Yeray Álvarez tested positive for doping. This test was conducted after the match against Manchester United at San Mamés in mid-May of this year.
The test came back positive because I unintentionally took a preventive hair loss product that contained a prohibited substance.
Thus, Yeray will not be able to play for Athletic Bilbao for now.
I am temporarily suspended and am not allowed to make any further public statements.
The disciplinary proceedings are currently under investigation and are confidential, so I am temporarily suspended and am not allowed to make any further public statements, - added in the post.
