Egypt international Hossam Ghaly is facing
a possible one year ban after testing positive for a
banned substance. This is most likely due to a flu medication
that Ghaly had to take during the cup of Nations.
28 year old midfielder Hossam Ghaly is
facing the threat of serving one year ban after he failed
a drug test. The doping test samples were taken after
the Saudi league match between Hilal and Nassr a few
weeks ago.
"Al Nassr received a notification
from the Saudi Football Association's disciplinary committee
that Ghaly had tested positive for a banned substance,"
Shwaki was quoted as saying by Egyptian reporters.
'Another sample of Ghaly's blood will
be examined this week. He added.
'There must be something wrong because Hossam is a professional
who is fully aware of the gravity of using banned substances.'
It is thought that Ghaly might have taken medication for Flu
during the African Cup of Nations which is listed amongst
the prohibited drugs.
