After Appeal Rejection.. Ramadan Sobhi to Remain Out Until 2029 Due to Doping Suspension 🚨
Ramadan Sobhi, the Pyramids first-team player, has suffered another major setback in his doping case after the Swiss Federal Court rejected his appeal against the punishment imposed on him, upholding the four-year suspension.
According to the announced duration of the punishment, the decision means Ramadan Sobhi will remain unable to play football until 2029, leaving the player facing a difficult new stage in his career due to the length of the suspension.
Swiss Federal Court Rejects Ramadan Sobhi’s Appeal ⚖️
The Swiss Federal Court had been reviewing the appeal filed by Ramadan Sobhi’s defense team against the ruling in the doping case before ultimately rejecting the challenge and keeping the suspension in place.
The decision means the four-year ban remains effective, preventing the player from taking part in matches during the punishment period and directly affecting his future with Pyramids.
The latest development follows a series of legal steps taken by the player and his defense team in an attempt to challenge the earlier ruling.
Ramadan Sobhi’s Lawyer Reveals Appeal Details
Hany Zahran, Ramadan Sobhi’s lawyer, had previously discussed the latest developments in the case, explaining that the defense team had filed an appeal before the Swiss Federal Court.
At the time, Zahran said the court had not yet determined its position because of the holiday period.
He added that a ruling had been expected during September or October, while the defense team waited for the court to issue its decision on the appeal.
Evidence Not Allowed Before CAS
The Pyramids player’s lawyer also explained that the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) had not allowed certain evidence and supporting material to be presented during the proceedings, according to the defense team’s position.
Zahran said the decision not to allow that evidence represented, from the defense’s perspective, an important argument that could be relied upon in the appeal before the Swiss Federal Court.
The defense team had therefore hoped that these points could contribute to a reconsideration of the punishment imposed on the player.
First Case Taken to the Swiss Federal Court
Hany Zahran also noted that Ramadan Sobhi’s doping case represented the first occasion on which the player had taken a case to the Swiss Federal Court in this manner.
He had previously expressed hope that this legal route could prove positive for the player and provide an opportunity for the appeal to be considered favorably.
However, the court ultimately rejected the appeal, meaning the four-year suspension remains in place, according to the reports cited in the source material.
Ramadan Sobhi Faces a Lengthy Absence
With the punishment continuing, Ramadan Sobhi now faces a lengthy period away from competitive football and will be unable to participate with Pyramids during the suspension.
The decision also raises further questions about his future with the club and how his situation will be handled throughout the suspension, particularly given the duration of the punishment and its potential impact on his football career.
Any new developments in the case are expected to attract significant attention, as the consequences of the decision continue to shape Ramadan Sobhi’s sporting future. 🔥
