Alejandro “Papu” Gómez tested positive in a test carried out at Sevilla in Spain in November 2022, days before the World Cup in Qatar, and will be punished with a two-year suspension.
It all happened in a Sevilla training session, when a surprise anti-doping control was carried out and, according to the footballer’s version, days before he had had a bad night, which led him to take a syrup from one of his children without prior consultation. to the club’s doctors. This behavior is not allowed by the authorities, since he should at least have informed him before taking it.
On the other hand, the regulations are very clear and it must be the footballer himself who consults the Prohibited List of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
When any rule is transgressed, the argument that a doctor provided bad advice does not serve as a mitigating factor, since this will not exempt the athlete from the possible consequences and it is the player himself, in this case, who is ultimately responsible for what he introduces into your body.
According to reports, both Gómez and Sevilla had been aware of this situation for months, when they received the notification, and this would have been an impediment to finding a team for the player, since neither club wanted to take risks in the face of the possible punishment that was yet to be decided. . This situation caused the parties to finally agree to terminate the contract that ended in 2024.
In principle, the footballer wanted to wait until January to join a club once he knew whether or not there was a sanction; However, he ended up joining Monza, a team with which he only played two games in October.
With this latent situation, we will have to wait for the player’s word, since the two-year sanction could reopen the chances of his retirement.
The last time for Gómez was not easy at all, since his departure from the National Team was added to this dark present, which is shrouded in controversy and mystery.
Problems with skirts, jealousy, spells, lies, lack of codes and more were some of the hypotheses that transcended. However, now everything seems to close with this positive that, at the time, was hidden because it was a few days before the start of the World Cup in Qatar. Papu would have hidden the situation they were going through from the team, but they finally found out while the championship was being played.
