Dutch Eredivisie: Cameroon's Onana Ban Reduced
By Sampson Adedeji
Cameroon's and Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana had his ban for a positive doping test cut to nine months on Thursday and can resume playing in November, BSNSports.com.ng can reports.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport said its judges found Onana was not at significant fault and reduced his one-year ban by UEFA. The ban now ends on November 3rd.
Onana tested positive last October for furosemide, a banned diuretic often used as a masking agent to hide the presence of other drugs.
He said he was feeling unwell and took a pill prescribed for his girlfriend from a packet he mistook for aspirin.
Anti-doping rules make athletes liable for banned substances in their body, though they can argue they were not at fault nor negligent.
