Free Agent Nasri Suspended For 6 Months

[Machado]

"Former France international Samir Nasri has been banned from football for six months for an anti-doping violation dating from 2016.

Uefa says Nasri has been found guilty of using a “prohibited method” in violation of the World Anti-Doping Code and Uefa’s anti-doping regulations.

A Los Angeles clinic, Drip Doctors, posted a photo of Nasri on its Facebook and Twitter accounts in December 2016, saying it provided him with a drip “to help keep him hydrated and in top health during his busy soccer season.” He was playing at Spanish team Sevilla at the time, on loan from Manchester City.

European football’s governing body, which opened disciplinary proceedings against the Frenchman on March 6 last year, said in a statement on Tuesday afternoon: “The player Samir Nasri has been found guilty for using a prohibited method in accordance with sub-section M2, par. 2 of the WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) prohibited list."

There were rumours that he could be joining Las Palmas or Benevento (looks like free agents can sign outside of the transfer window) but seems like no football for him for a while.

i have no sympathy for the little runt.

I always rated Nasri... I feel like once he left Arsenal if all went down hill even though he won his Premiership title finally. 

 

But i'd take him in Philadelphia...
