Defender and Captain Athletic Eryre Alvarez was removed from football because of a positive doping test. The footballer himself in his social networks reported.

A positive test of the football player was taken after the match of the 1/2 finals of the Europa League-2024/25 against Manchester United in May this year.

According to a 30-year-old Spaniard, the forbidden substance has entered his body through medicine against alopecia.

“A few weeks ago, I was informed that my doping test, handed over after the first semi-final match of the Europa League with Manchester United, was positive. To get such a news is a very heavy blow. To be honest, I cannot believe it, given that I had never used forbidden substances in my life.

From the time I defeated my illness, I have been treated for alopecia for years. After studying the situation, we found that the positive result was obtained because I inadvertently took a preventative from hair loss containing a forbidden substance.

Disciplinary consideration is currently under investigation and is confidential, so I am temporarily eliminated and I have no right to make any additional public statements.

I want to tell you all that I am very sad because of this situation, but with the support of the club I work on my protection and I am sure that I can return to the field as soon as possible. As soon as the process is completed, I will give all the necessary explanations.

I want to thank the athlete for their support from the beginning, and to express my confidence in justice and sports organizations, “Alvarez wrote.

At the same time, the Basque press service published a statement confirming this information.

“Athletic regrets Jara’s human mistake and expresses him full support. The player posted a message on social networks, which explained that the positive result during the UEFA review led to a mistake made during the treatment of his allopecia.

The athlete fully supports Erai and expresses the absolute trust to the bodies responsible for the case, “the club’s statement said.

Last season, Alvarez spent 29 matches with two balls. A total of 257 Basque matches in the Erai account is his only club in his career – he scored five goals and gave four assistants.
