Paolo Guerrero has been left out of the football party and the whole country is affected by the 14-month ban from the CAS. Jhonny Baldovino, an expert in legal sports matters, emphasized that this sanction does not comply with the rules of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).

With a 14-month ban, Guerrero will not be able to play in the World Cup and Baldovino explained the process of this penalty: "It seems exaggerated to me, because when they say 14 months, they are not really punishing you too much. If WADA states that the minimum is 2 years, why do they give you 14?".

"Why 14, why not 12, why not 15, why not 8? If they comply with the rules, it should be 2 years, but he showed before FIFA and with the ruling it seems that he didn't convince CAS. I understood that things were fine and quite solid," RPP sentenced.

The 'Depredador' has been suspended since November 3 due to the presence of the metabolite benzoylecgonine in his body after the match between Peru and Argentina at La Bombonera.
