His last name says it: he is a warrior and never gives up. FIFA hit the captain of the Peruvian National Team with a one-year suspension after testing positive in an anti-doping test, but the '9' doesn't crumble. This time, he will choose to put his case in the hands of a specialist in sports law and continue dreaming of reaching Russia 2018.
Paolo Guerrero's hope is called Juan de Dios Crespo, a Spanish lawyer who is famous worldwide for helping Lionel Messi reduce a 4-game suspension to only 2 during the last World Cup qualifiers. This way, the Argentine star was able to take his team to the World Cup.
When will we know if Paolo Guerrero will play in the 2018 World Cup?
The lawyer is a specialist in sports law, and in our country, he is also known for helping Universitario de Deportes win a conflict in the TAS that occurred between the "cremas" and Genoa from Italy regarding the player Andy Polo. The "cremas" pocketed 1.4 million dollars by being right.
Juan de Dios Crespo will now have the mission to prove that the forward of the Peruvian National Team had no intention of ingesting a prohibited substance and thus request a reduction in his punishment.
