Former Sevilla midfielder Samir Nasri has been banned from football for six months following a Spanish Anti-Doping investigation.
The Frenchman used a drip treatment he took at a Los Angeles clinic in 2016 while on holiday, with the treatment contravening World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) rules.
The ban rules the 30-year-old out, who is currently a free agent, out of football activities until August.
Nasri reportedly received treatment from Drip Doctors – a private medical company – in his hotel room, and posed for a photograph with the organisation's co-founder Jamila Sozahdah.
Wada rules clarify the limit for active athletes is a 50 mililitre infusion of hydration, but the Frenchman’s treatment was allegedly 500 mililitres.
The former Arsenal and Manchester City midfielder departed Turkish side Antalyaspor in January, having starred for Sevilla in a loan stint last season, and had been linked with a move to Las Palmas as a free agent.
