44 Länderspiele und nun eine Sperre? Laura Freigang (M.)

Overview

  • Media reports in late May say Freigang failed to be at her declared whereabouts for anti-doping spot checks on three occasions within 12 months.
  • The Nationale Anti-Doping-Agentur (NADA) told reporters on Monday it is the body that verifies individual 'strikes' and that it currently has no record of a confirmed violation by the player.
  • All doping tests completed for Freigang to date reportedly returned negative results so there is no direct positive doping finding in the case.
  • The DFB and Eintracht Frankfurt have declined to comment because the matter is described as a pending procedure and Freigang was left off the active squad for upcoming qualifiers, listed only on standby.
  • Registered Testing Pool rules require daily 60-minute whereabouts windows and three missed checks within 12 months can trigger a DFB discipline process that has led to suspensions in past precedent cases.
