Paolo Guerrero's suspension reduced to six months
The news of the reduction of Paolo Guerrero's suspension quickly made headlines around the world. The international press focused on the decision of FIFA's Appeals Committee regarding the case of the Peruvian national team player.
The prestigious French newspaper, "L'Equipe," reported on the reduction of Paolo Guerrero's sanction, stating that he will be able to play against the French national team.
The media titled their article: "Peru: Paolo Guerrero's suspension will be reduced, he will be available against the Blues in the World Cup".
In the development of the article, "L'Equipe" adds: "Peru's coach, Ricardo Gareca, was hoping for a reduced doping suspension for his star forward Paolo Guerrero. His wish was granted on Wednesday by FIFA's Appeals Commission, which reduced his initial one-year suspension to just six months. He will be available for the 2018 World Cup, where Peru is in the same group as France."
