#STIMULANTS

Jakub Wawrzyniak’s law case concerning using illegal stimulants when the player was member of Panathinaikos Athens has finally come to an end. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne exculpated the footballer from charges of the second case regarding taking anabolic steroids by him.

We informed you a few days ago that Legia's player, Jakub Wawrzyniak, has been disqualified for two years by the Disciplinary Commission of the Greek league due to taking some illegal stimulants. FIFA referred to the documents sent by the Greek Football Association and agreed with the Greek Appeals Commission's verdict from 1st July to disqualify Wawrzyniak for a year. The decision means that the footballer won't be able to appear in any official games. The player has right to appeal against the decision in the FIFA's Appeals Commission.

Jakub Wawrzyniak has been disqualified for two years by the Disciplinary Commission of the Greek league due to taking illegal stimulants. After the first boob (on 5th April in the match against AO Xanthi) defender was disqualified for three months. With regard to his appeal, the punishment was augmented to one year. However, the Greek National Institute Against Dopes examined all other samples taken from the footballer after earlier games.

Jakub Wawrzyniak received from Greece written grounds for the decision of his one-year disqualification concerning taking illegal stimulants when he was Panathinaikos’s player. Document which was written in Greek has been translated into Polish. It means that the footballer will be able to begin the revocatory procedure in the face of the Sport Commission of Arbitration in Lausanne.

According to "Fakt", Panathinaikos Athens still considers whether to buy Jakub Wawrzyniak or not. The board of the "Clovers" can buy the defender from Legia on condition that they will be able to sell Wawrzyniak to another club this summer. The footballer was loaned to Athens in the winter break for 500.000 euro with a clause that after the end of the season Panathinaikos will be able to buy the player for one million euro.
