adminLONDON. — Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has accused European football’s governing body Uefa of accepting doping because they allowed his team’s defeat by Dinamo Zagreb to stand despite one of the Croatian club’s players failing a drugs test.
After Dinamo beat Arsenal 2-1 in their opening Champions League Group F match in September, midfielder Arijan Aremi tested positive and was banned for four years. The club are appealing.
Under Uefa rules the result of a match stands if only one player fails a test.
“You cannot say ‘okay, they had a doped player and the result stands’” Wenger told reporters ahead of last night’s return match in London.
“That means you basically accept doping.
“If doesn’t look logical, especially if you (test) only three players.” — AFP.
