In Italy - another unusual case this season.

The newcomer Papu Gomez from "Monza" received a two-year disqualification for the use of prohibited substances.

A doping test was found in the blood of the world champion, which was carried out almost a year ago - in November 2022. According to the Argentine, he drank his child's cough syrup without consulting the club doctor.

In early September, P. Gomez terminated his contract with "Sevilla" and joined the "Serie A" club "Monza".
