Jose Luis Palomino has been acquitted of doping offences after testing positive for an anabolic steroid in the summer, his club Atalanta said on Monday.
Italy's anti-doping agency NADO cleared Argentine defender Palomino after he claimed to have accidentally taken the steroid. He can now play for Gian Piero Gasperini's side.
"I'm very happy! I had faith in the justice system and now I can turn my attention to being back with my teammates," Palomino said in a statement on Atalanta's website.
From black magic to issues with his brother, injuries, and now a failed doping test. His life seems to be all over the place, one problem after another.
I hope there's a clause in his contract that allows for termination in such cases.

Pogba will therefore be suspended as a precautionary measure and will have three days to request counter-analysis. If the positive test is confirmed, Pogba will be judged by the national antidoping tribunal or make a plea deal . He could face 2-4 years suspension and possible enquiry into the club for doping charges.

What a fucking dumbass, it's not hard to get around testing, should have spent the money on an expert on that instead of the witch doctor. But this is great for us, so thank you labile!

I find it difficult to believe a professional footballer in Europe would take banned drugs intentionally.
There is no escape from it... so.. it is difficult to believe he intentionally was taking such drugs.
I am reading that you can cheat such tests, but you have to know exactly what you are doing!
The 2 years ban is just rubbish...
Mutu was found taking cocaine with Chelsea (7 months ban) and then with viola for doping (9 months).
