Samir nasri news now
Samir Nasri is a former French professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder or winger. He is currently retired from professional football. Here are some recent news updates about Samir Nasri:
- In October 2020, Nasri was banned from playing football for 18 months by the French Football Federation (FFF) due to a doping violation. He tested positive for a banned substance in a urine test taken in August 2016, while he was playing for Turkish club Antalyaspor.
- In November 2020, Nasri announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 34, citing his desire to focus on his personal life and his health.
- In December 2020, Nasri was sentenced to six months in prison and fined €10,000 by a French court for his role in a doping scandal. He was found guilty of using a banned substance and of attempting to cover up his use of the substance.
- In January 2021, Nasri's lawyer announced that he would appeal the sentence and fine, claiming that his client was the victim of a "witch hunt" and that the evidence against him was "weak".
- In February 2021, Nasri's appeal was rejected by the French Court of Appeal, and he was ordered to serve his six-month prison sentence.
It's worth noting that Nasri has consistently denied any wrongdoing and has claimed that he was the victim of a conspiracy. However, the evidence against him was deemed sufficient by the French authorities to convict him of doping and to impose a prison sentence.
