He can’t be popular with Argentina right now.
Imagine putting the cup at risk for a player who played about 100 minutes the whole tournament.
He can’t be popular with Argentina right now
He never was
Was he not tested at the WC?
He was, all negative probably.
Of course he was tested, as all of them are. Each national team tests their players
He was not part of the national team anymore. This is a typical effort by an older player trying to extend this career
This is really shit, especially considering that at least in Argentina it was totally inconsequential (I don’t know about Seville because I didn’t see their games that’s why I don’t include it) he only played 2 games against Arabia that Argentina lost anyway and more or less half time with Australia where he did not have a leading role
but that won’t avoid the controversy
Argentines put all their effort on the try to win it. Maybe the most passional country in football world.
He was not called again after WC and of course he is being hated for being selfish.
What happens when you betray a passional being?..Rage.
Honestly it seems very irresponsible to his own career and even disrespectful to his teammates if he did it knowingly and if his version of the cough syrup is true it would still seem like an extremely stupid thing to do. Why the hell does a team have a medical team if the players are going to self-medicate anyway without even consulting them if what they are planning to take won’t cause any problems? Especially considering that athletes have a list of substances that they should not introduce into their bodies.
Surely knowingly fielding 1 player should be enough?
Probably got high with lahoz before the Netherlands match
He should have went to Real Madrid. There you just throw a fit and cry and the club will block the doping test.
Back in the glorious 90s, two Marseille players that were designated for anti-doping control were substituted mid-game, taken directly to a car and sent back to Marseille. That was when OM was all-powerful.
FIFA knew he was under investigation even before the World Cup, yet let him play. Corruption has no limits when certain players need their legacy cemented.
Ah yes, because Papu Gomez was so key to Argentina winning the World Cup, no way would they have won it if he was banned before the tournament and they took a different player instead.
well which other argentinian player could pull that beckham look?
Cheating ass Argentina
I must be missing something, how are there people in this thread who seem to think that if a player from Argentina’s World Cup squad tested positive for a PED now, it would count as a second strike again them?
WE’RE ALMOST THERE /s
I’m praying for another
Damn, what a fucking loser.
Oh look at that it seems that I have lost all my medals. Ain’t that a coincidence.
Keep testing sevilla pls
Cry
Honestly, if that were me, you’d have to get them from my cold dead fingers.
