Oscar Zambrano Faces Suspension After Doping Violation

Oscar Zambrano, a Hull City footballer, has been suspended due to a breach of anti-doping regulations. The suspension was imposed with immediate effect by CONMEBOL, South America's football governing body, following a positive test for a banned substance during his previous time at Liga Deportiva Universitaria Quito in March. Although Zambrano has played seven matches for Hull City, scoring once, his potential ban was known prior to his loan signing this summer. Hull City made the decision to sign him despite the apparent risks, as they believed in his innocence. The club has expressed their intention to appeal the suspension to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, while Liga Deportiva Universitaria supports their player in the ongoing process.
