Having just signed for AC Monza after the end of his contract with Sevilla FC, Argentine attacking midfielder Alejandro “Papu” Gomez (35) is seeing the end of his career take another turn. Indeed, according to the latest information from Relevothe 2022 world champion would have tested positive for a banned substance, during a surprise appearance in front of the anti-doping authorities during a training session with the Andalusian team in November 2022, therefore a few days before joining the Argentine selection for the Qatari World Cup.
The Spanish media adds that the Albiceleste international (17 caps, 3 goals) had announced that he had taken “a syrup from one of his sons without first consulting the club’s doctors”. In addition, the SFC and the player concerned were aware of this matter several months ago, but the sanction of two years of suspension only fell this week. Which could mean the end of his professional career at 35. After the amicable termination during Deadline Day last summer, this sword of Damocles was also responsible for the former Atalanta Bergamo’s difficulty in finding a club after his time in Sevilla, the suitors having been discouraged by its possible suspension.
