Bilbao official: Yere Alvarez accidentally took the drug and caused the drug test to be positive, the team supports him

July 11th news According to Bilbao's official website, Alvarez tested positive for the drug due to mistakenly taking drugs. Athletic Bilbao regretted Yere Alvarez's human error and expressed his full support to him. The

player posted a message on social media explaining that a mistake in treating hair loss caused UEFA's drug test to be positive.

Jerrey Alvarez posted the following statement on his personal Instagram account this afternoon:

A few weeks ago, I was told that I tested positive for UEFA drug after the first leg of the UEFA semi-final match with Manchester United. Receiving this news was a huge blow to me, and frankly, I couldn’t believe it because I’ve never taken any banned substances. I have been receiving treatment for hair loss since I defeated the disease. After investigation, we found that the positive result was because I accidentally took anti-hair loss drugs containing prohibited ingredients. Currently, the disciplinary process is in progress and is confidential, so I am temporarily suspended and cannot make any more public statements. I want to tell you that I feel very sorry for this situation, but with the support of the club, I am trying to defend myself and hope to return to the court as soon as possible. Once the program is finished, I will provide all the necessary explanations. I would like to thank Athletic Bilbao for the support and trust that has been given to me from the very beginning and to express my confidence in the sports judiciary. Come on, Bilbao!

As he himself said, the process is currently in the investigation stage and needs to be kept confidential, so the club cannot issue more public statements on the matter. Once the procedure is completed, Jerey Alvarez and Athletic Bilbao will provide all relevant and necessary explanations.

Athletic Bilbao Club here expresses its full support for Jerey Alvarez and is confident in the agency responsible for resolving the matter.
