'Papu' Gómez will retire after doping sanction? A crucial decision and his plans

The football world was shaken on October 20th by the news that Alejandro 'Papu' Gómez will face a two-year suspension due to a positive result in an anti-doping test conducted before the 2022 Qatar World Cup. During the course of the day, it was confirmed that FIFA officially notified the sanction, stated journalist Fabrizio Romano, so this situation could lead the current player to consider ending his career. This unexpected turn of events comes at a time when the Argentine seemed to be taking a positive path by joining Monza in the Italian Serie A, after terminating his contract with Sevilla FC.

The facts indicate that the footballer tested positive in November of last year, during a routine control conducted by UEFA after a training day with his former club, Sevilla. According to initial reports, 'Papu' claims to have consumed a cough syrup for one of his children that contained a prohibited substance.
