François Marque, the former Bastia defender currently playing for FC Saarbrücken in Germany, has been handed a six-match suspension by the court of the German Football Association (DFB) for doping. This verdict aligns with the prevailing rules and regulations.
The suspension stems from Marque’s positive test following FC Saarbrücken’s match against RasenBallsport Leipzig on November 30. Marque had reportedly ingested a medication listed by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) under the glucocorticoid group.
It’s worth noting that Marque’s suspension duration was determined to be six months, as the substance detected falls under the category of a specific substance rather than a product explicitly intended to enhance strength and endurance. The judgment was subsequently endorsed following the player’s acknowledgment of the situation.
