The president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, will receive Paolo Guerrero, who has been suspended for 14 months from soccer, and the president of the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF), Edwin Oviedo, next Monday. The intention, as it was known, is for the striker of the Peruvian national team to exhaust all legal avenues to play in the 2018 World Cup.
On the other hand, Paolo Guerrero's defense is considering requesting a pardon from FIFA for the striker of the Peruvian national team. This is, of course, an unprecedented case. So, is it feasible that this path will allow the striker to play in the World Cup?
"The figure of the pardon is invoked because it is the forgiveness of the sanction, not of the offense. So, there, TAS would be respected. It is a power that FIFA has. The work of TAS ends when it issues the arbitral award. They do not have the power to execute what they have decided [FIFA]", explained Jhonny Baldovino to Canal N.
"The lack of care has been punished in a very perverse way. It sounds unfair. If you have a prohibited substance but you do not gain a sports advantage, you cannot be so drastic. Perhaps the problem lies in the regulations," added the expert in sports law.
