The Spanish club "Athletic Bilbao" has issued a statement of support for defender Yeray Alvarez, who was suspended from football for violating anti-doping rules.
Idman.biz reports that the doping sample was previously reported in the press to have been taken after the first leg of the Europa League semi-final match against Manchester United.
The club said in a statement: "Athletic" regrets Yeray's human error and expresses its full support for him. In a message shared on social networks, the football player explained that the positive result in the UEFA test was due to a mistake made during the treatment of his hair loss disease. We fully support the football player."
It should be noted that 30-year-old Alvarez played in 29 games in all tournaments for Athletic last season and scored 2 goals.
