Russian star at 2018 World Cup investigated for doping

Russian midfielder Denis Cheryshev is being investigated by the Spanish Anti-Doping Agency after being suspected of using banned substances during preparations for the 2018 World Cup.

“Denis was injured and because of the doctors’ wrongful collusion, they started injecting hormones into my son. The injections were to help Denis recover faster,” Dmitri, the father of midfielder Denis Cheryshev, said in an interview last week.

Immediately, the Spanish Anti-Doping Agency (AEPSAD) and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) stepped in. If convicted of using hormones without a medical exemption, Denis could face a ban of up to four years.

Russia's hero at the 2018 World Cup could face heavy penalties from WADA if found guilty of using banned substances.

If Cheryshev is banned, it will certainly be a big loss for Russian football. Of course, the country's football federation has denied all accusations related to the midfielder who plays for Valencia Club (Spain).

"The drug that Denis was injected with was not a hormone, it was platelet-rich plasma (PRP). PRP is a therapy used to reduce recovery time by increasing the amount of protein," the Russian Football Federation confirmed.
