     Hamburg’s Vuskovic Returns Positive B-Sample In Doping Case - World Cup Update 


Hamburg defender Mario Vuskovic returned a positive B-sample result in a doping case investigated by the German Football Association (DFB), the second-tier club said on Thursday.

Croatian Vuskovic failed a standard dope test in November when his A-sample showed the prohibited substance Erythropoietin (EPO).

“(The club) was informed today by the DFB about the result of the positive B-sample of player Mario Vuskovic, which was opened on 12 December 2022,” Hamburg said in a statement.

Further proceedings regarding possible sanctions will be conducted by the DFB’s sports jurisdiction.
