Macedonian club banned and fined after two positive drug tests

Rabotnicki duo Milovan Petrovic and Dino Najdoski tested positive for banned substances following their Europa League meeting with Lazio last year.

UEFA HAVE HANDED Macedonian club Rabotnicki a suspended four-year ban from continental competitions after two of their players tested positive for doping.

The club have also been handed a €30,000 fine after Milovan Petrovic and Dino Najdoski tested positive for banned substances following their 6-0 defeat to Serie A outfit Lazio in a Europa League play-off tie last season.

The two players have been suspended for one year each.

The team’s doctor Mihajlo Ivanovski and physiotherapist Darko Velcevski have also been “suspended from all activities linked to football for two and three years respectively” continued UEFA’s statement.

UEFA have also requested that global governing body FIFA extend the punishments to a worldwide ban.
