Argentina national team captain Sergio Vazquez has revealed how Diego Maradona failed doping control at the 1994 World Championships.

" It was even more surprising for me because we are so young to undergo a doping test. Diego will be even calmer. I think that Maradona clearly wanted to get rid of the problem, as a result of the conflict with FIFA President Joao Havelange. After Julio Grondona said that one of the control tests gave a positive result, I felt incredibly confused, knowing that this was Diego’s test. We walked to Maradona, amidst the devastation, without ceasing to cry. “I prepared for the tournament in such a manner because I wanted to say goodbye to the national team.”.

After another disqualification, he tried to return to football, but played almost 30 matches for Boca Juniors and ended up playing professional football..

Paul Pogba (Juventus), 2024 Anti-hero of today - Paul Pogba. In 2022, the Frenchman turned to Juventus, where he spent his career. Already at this stage everything went wrong. Injuries prevented me from playing again for the Turin club. Just turning around - a new injury. Kerivnytstvo was thinking about canceling the contract, and even Paul, having waived his salary, did not play on the football field.

Analyzes of the 30-year-old Frenchman, which were carried out after the fight, showed an increase in the level of testosterone in the blood. And on the last day of winter 2024, fate became aware of the four-year ban. The Anti-Doping Prosecutor's Office demanded this term for a football player in the past..

So, theoretically, it is possible to turn to football at 34 rocks. But you can’t believe in such confidence, according to Paul’s loyal fans..

Bonus Artem Besedin (Dynamo Kiev), 2019 year Artem failed a doping test after the group round match of the European League against Malmo (3:4) in November 2019. It was understood that the team’s lead doctor, Leonid Mironov, mixed up the pills, which led to the death of the grave.

You gave me a pill for my head, but got confused and gave me my head. The smells are similar. How about I take a walk, sing, and prescribe some kind of medicine after back surgery?. I, just seemingly, said, so that I don’t want anything else from my life, so that I don’t get hurt in my eyes. How there is no image? This person took my rik kar'eri from me. I took up my beloved right, and took away my rik. These seem brutal, one might say – a little more than rock.

Artyom couldn’t manage to turn to the front line. In 2023, the Russians left Dynamo, moved to the Cypriot Union, and then the Kazakh Ordabasi entered.
