MAMADOU SAKHO SUSPENDED FOR 30 DAYS BY UEFA DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE

Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho has been suspended for 30 days by Uefa after it opened disciplinary proceedings against him following a failed drugs test.

The suspension is provisional until a final decision is taken by Uefa’s control, ethics and disciplinary body.
Sakho, 26, tested positive for what is supposed to be a type of fat burner after the Europa League win against Manchester United on 17 March.

European football’s governing body added Sakho “did not request the analysis of the B sample”. He chose not to challenge the results.
The date of a disciplinary hearing is yet to be announced.
The France international and his club had already agreed he would remain unavailable while a Uefa investigation was completed.
Kolo Toure was also a victim while at Manchester City and was banned for six months in 2011 after testing positive for a weight-loss drug contained within “water tablets” recommended to him by his wife.
A ban for Sakho, it would rule him out of Euro 2016 in France, which starts on 10 June.
