According to Saudi media reports recently, Saudi national team winger Fahd Muwalid is suspected of taking doping in the World Preliminary Round of 12 matches with China, and he has been suspended for the next punishment. As the absolute main force of the round of 12, Fahd will most likely be suspended from the World Cup in Qatar.
He has been suspended by the Saudi side for football activities,
Further penalties will await from FIFA
On March 24, 2022, local time, the Round of 12, China vs Saudi Arabia, Zhu Chenjie against Fahd According to IC photo
Although the Saudi side did not specify which game Fahd was recruited after the round of 12, it is likely that it will be the March 24 away match against China. After playing against China, the Saudi team returned to Jeddah to prepare for the home match against Australia on March 29. In the match against the Australian team, Fahd, who started the match with the Chinese team, was not selected for the 23-man list of the Battle of Saudi Arabia and Australia, and then the Saudi media broke the news that Fahd tested positive for doping.
The Saudi team and the national football team are already in the penultimate round of the round of 12, before that game, the Japanese team has already won the Australian team, so Saudi Arabia has already entered two rounds of the Qatar World Cup ticket before the game. In that match against opponents weaker than them, the Saudi team did not give their full strength, and finally drew 1-1 with the national football team. Many people are puzzled that saudi arabian football players also have to use doping in national football matches, and one netizen joked, "Because playing national football can't get excited..."
According to FIFA regulations, a player who is detected to be doping in a single football match will not affect the final result of the match, but the player himself will be punished. At present, the Saudi side has made a decision to temporarily suspend Fahd from participating in all football activities, waiting for further penalties from FIFA.
Fahd can be regarded as a "habitual offender",
The Saudi international was also banned for four years
Fahd
In terms of doping, Fahd can be counted as a "habitual offender" because this is not the first time he has had a problem with doping testing. In April 2018, Fahd was suspended for a year after being found to be doping in the Saudi domestic league.
The 29-year-old Fahd is already an absolute main player in the Saudi team and now plays for Levante F.C. in La Liga. He staged a one-goal success as early as 2012. In that year's AFC Champions League quarter-finals, Fahd represented Etihad against Lippi's Guangzhou team in the second leg of the match, with Guangzhou leading 2-0, Fahd scored a key goal, helping Etihad eventually eliminate Guangzhou with a total score of 5-4. So far, Fahd has played more than 70 games for the Saudi team, scoring 17 goals, and is currently the most scoring player for the national team in the Saudi team that has just finished the round of 12, and is also one of the heroes of the Saudi team.
There is also precedent for Saudi internationals to be punished for doping. In February 2016, Saudi player Mohammed Noor was temporarily suspended from qualifying after being tested positive for doping (amphetamines) during a routine post-match check. Subsequently, the Saudi anti-doping agency officially issued a 4-year ban on him, and he chose to retire directly.
