Guerrero will not join Peru team in Russia
May 15, 2018
Peru captain, Paolo Guerrero will miss the World Cup after he was suspended for doping.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport has upheld an appeal by the World Anti-Doping Agency to extend Guerrero's six-month FIFA ban, which expired this month.
The extended ban means Guerrero will now be out of action until January.
Guerrero tested positive for drugs at a World Cup qualifying match last October, but his lawyers argued that it was a result of drinking contaminated tea.
