🚨 After positive doping test, UEFA bans LaLiga player for ten months | OneFootball

Bitter news for Athletic Bilbao: UEFA has suspended center-back Yeray Álvarez for ten months, as the club officially confirmed.

The 28-year-old tested positive for a banned substance last season after the Europa League semi-final first leg against Manchester United. According to UEFA, the result is due to the unintentional intake of a medication for hair loss.

Although the disciplinary chamber did not recognize any doping intent, it still reminded Álvarez that players are responsible for the legality of all substances they consume.

A small consolation for Bilbao and the player himself: Since Álvarez had already suspended himself from June 2, he will be eligible to play again from April 2, 2026.
