"Dinamo" defender A. Ademi punished with a four-year disqualification

Zagreb's "Dinamo" announced that the club's security guard Arijanas Ademi has been punished with a four-year disqualification for positive doping test results. 24-year-old footballer tested positive for banned substances after the Croatian champions' match against London's "Arsenal" in September, which they won 2-1. The crucial decision was made by UEFA today in Switzerland. However, the Macedonian denies his guilt. "It's very difficult for me to describe how I feel right now," Ademi told the official "Dinamo" website. "I am innocent, I know I did nothing wrong, and I received such a drastic punishment. I feel awful." The club's representatives also added that these events have shocked everyone and are very unexpected. The good news for Zagreb's team is that they won't lose points in the Champions League group stage. Such action would have been taken if at least two players were punished for doping use."
