The Gurpegi case

Today the Competition Committee decided the sanction and Athletic Club wishes to inform that it will present a remedy of appeal before the Appeals Committee.

In view of this blatant injustice our organization wishes to reaffirm the fundamental arguments which it has maintained up to now, that is to say: the vulnerability suffered by the player, the well-known procedural defects of the process and, the fundamental question, the refusal to seriously investigate the supposition that Carlos Gurpegi produces 19-norandrosterone in a natural way.

Once the decision has been carefully studied, representatives of the Athletic Club will hold a press conference shortly to analyse the details of the penalization.
