Kuala Lumpur, April 6 (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 6th Apr, 2021 ) :A Brazilian footballer playing for Thai side Chiangrai United has been handed a four-year ban for doping after failing a test at an AFC Champions League match, officials said Tuesday.
Jaja Coelho was found guilty of breaking anti-doping rules at his club's group stage game against Australia's Melbourne Victory in November, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) said.
