Greek soccer player’s alleged doping incident prompts UEFA investigation
Following an alleged positive doping sample from a Greek soccer player after a match against Georgia in Tbilisi, UEFA and the International Testing Agency (ITA) have initiated an investigation. The Hellenic Soccer Federation (EPO) and the National Anti-Doping Agency (EOKAN) are currently awaiting official updates.
The ITA sent the results to UEFA after testing two international players, one of whom was of Greek descent. In case of a positive result, notification will be sent simultaneously to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), FIFA, EOKAN, UEFA, and the athlete.
UEFA will inform the national federation to initiate procedures for the player’s provisional suspension, pending further investigation.
