Former defender of Donetsk Shakhtar Dario Srna assures that he deliberately did not accept illegal drugs.

At the moment, the Croatian bek continues to serve a 17-month suspension for doping. According to the National Anti-Doping Center, Srna used illegal drugs intentionally. Dario himself takes a different position.

"The situation is simple - I have already demonstrated to the whole world that I am innocent," Srna said..

"Disqualification was a difficult part of my life, but I'm a fighter. This is proved by my records in Shakhtar and the Croatian national team ".

"If I did not believe in myself, I would not be here now.". I will be able to continue playing from August 22, and until the end of this period I will train separately ".

"For the past 9 years, a personal trainer has been dealing with me, so I'm ready to return to the field," Srna summed up..

Earlier Srna said goodbye to the miner and fans of the club.
