Nasri Banned From Football For 6 Months Due To IV Therapy, Says Lawyer

Former Premier League star, now without a club, broke Wada
rule that states there is a 50 millilitre infusion limit per
six-hour period for active athletes.

Samir Nasri has been banned from football following the
investigation into the intravenous drip treatment he received at a
Los Angeles clinic.

The player’s legal representative in the case, Juan de Dias
Crespo Perez, told Press Association Sport that a six-month
suspension has been imposed on Nasri by Uefa, European football’s
governing body.

Former Arsenal and Manchester City playmaker Nasri received 500
millilitres of hydration in the form of sterile water containing
micronutrient components on December 26, 2016, while on
holiday.

At the time, he was on loan from City to Sevilla, and Nasri had
reported feeling ill and vomiting before calling a doctor, his
Maryland-based friend Dr Sarabjit Anand who provided an initial
diagnosis.

The company, which is based in Los
Angeles, posted this message on its Twitter account on 27 December

Nasri received treatment from a private medical company, Drip
Doctors, in his hotel room and later posed for a photograph with
the organisation’s co-founder Jamila Sozahdah that drew
publicity.

World Anti-Doping Agency rules state there is a 50 millilitre
infusion limit per six-hour period for active athletes. A request
by Sevilla for a retroactive therapeutic use exemption (TUE) for
Nasri was refused in February 2017 by Uefa, whose decision was
later upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
