Peru striker and captain Jose Paolo Guerrero cocaine affair

At the beginning of November last year, only one week before the first match of the additional qualifiers for the SP against New Zealand, Guerrero was suspended for 30 days due to an "abnormal" doping match after a qualifying match for Argentina's World Cup qualifiers at the beginning of October last year.

Guerrero was suspended for a year because after the match against Argentina he was positive for cocaine.

Given that Guerrero celebrated his 34th birthday at the beginning of the year, it was clear that such a long-term suspension meant that one of the most deserving of Peruvian placement in the SP after three and a half decades missed the last opportunity to enter the World Cup.

However, after appealing to the first-instance verdict, FIFA halved the Guerrilla penalty.

"Taking into account the circumstances of the case and the degree of guilty plea, the Appeals Commission concluded that the six-month suspension was a reasonable punishment," he said in a press release.

Then an incredible story was revealed how Guerrero had fought to half his sentence and still play at World Cup.

It is about the bodies found in the mountain chain in 1999, where, due to the height and the cold, they were preserved to the extent that one of the three mummies found a cocaine metabolite. The same substance was found in Guerrero's urine 500 years later.

The defense was based on the above findings and proved that substance can remain in the body of a person not only months after consumption but for centuries.

However, a week ago a new shock to Peru and his captain.

CAS increased the suspension from six to 14 months due to a positive finding on the doping test. That certainly means Guerrero misses SP.
