The news that Fahd Al-Mawlid, Al-Ittihad club player, was temporarily suspended from football, shocked the Saudi sports community, after he participated with the Saudi national team in the Asian qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup, and contributed to the arrival of Al-Akhdar to the World Cup for the sixth time.
A hearing decides the fate of Fahd Al-Mawlid
The “Action with Walid” program stated that the generator was temporarily suspended until a date for the player’s hearing is set, and Sultan Al-Ghashiyan, the presenter of the program, indicated that the player may be suspended for 4 years if it is proven that he deliberately obtained doping.
Al-Ghashyan added that there are two ways to prove the innocence of the generator, and they are “first, that the player asks to open a second sample, and if it is negative, his innocence is immediately proven. That, and upon proof, the player becomes innocent.”
And the sports journalist, Ahmed Al-Ajlan, announced yesterday, Thursday, that a positive sample of an international player appeared when he was tested for a doping test before a match.
And the fans interacted with Al-Ajlan’s tweet via Twitter, and some expected him to be a player in the ranks of Al-Ittihad or Al-Ahly, to disrupt the distinguished launch of the Brigadier General, while others ruled out the possibility of stopping any player in the first football team of Al-Hilal Club.
Not the first time
And Fahd Al-Mawled was previously suspended in 2019 for a year because it was proven that he had taken steroids.
