The Mexican player Erick “el Cubo” Torres was disqualified for two years by the National Doping Court of Costa Rica, after giving an adverse analytical result to an anti-doping test that was carried out on November 15, when he still belonged to the Association. Deportiva Guanacasteca.
This Wednesday, notably nervous and in the company of his wife, the Chivas youth player attended the hearing in which the result of the investigation would be announced to him, although only to hear from Juan Carlos Baldizón that he would have to stop for 24 months.
Alestar, disabled since last January, will have to add 20 more months without professional activity, which may have an impact on the end of his contractual relationship with Herediano, a club to which he arrived as a reinforcement last December.
They will appeal the punishment
In statements shared by La Nación, Juan Carlos Retana, the Guadalajara striker’s lawyer, announced that they will still seek to appeal the sanction so that it is less and even indicated that they are contemplating going before the CAS.
“The sanction, according to the norm, was four years, but considerations were made that I cannot mention until I have the sentence and can determine why this two-year conclusion was reached. There are mitigating circumstances that were assessed to understand under what circumstances the two-year sanction was issued,” Retana commented.
He pointed out that in the case of his client “there is an absence of negligence and guilt”, words that reinforce what was said by the Cube, who pointed out that it was a medication to treat an ingrown toenail that triggered his problem.
“We believe that CONAD is choosing the easy route by once again victimizing the athlete, when there are other aspects that should be considered, especially in the context of doping in a high-performance athlete,” said the lawyer.
