Athletic Bilbao Star Yeray Alvarez Faces Controversy: Alopecia Drug Sparks Unexpected Failed Drug Test Scandal
Athletic Bilbao centre-back Yeray Alvarez has been provisionally suspended after testing positive for a banned substance, which he claims he inadvertently took as part of a treatment for alopecia.
Alvarez tested positive following Athletic’s 3-0 loss to Manchester United in the Europa League semi-finals on May 1.
The defender, who was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2016, insists he has never knowingly taken a banned substance and that his positive test stemmed from medicine used to treat hair loss.
