New Blow for Ramadan Sobhi.. Swiss Federal Court Rejects Appeal and Upholds Four-Year Ban 🚨
Reports cited by journalist Mohamed Tarek Ada on his official Facebook account indicate that the Swiss Federal Court rejected Ramadan Sobhi’s appeal and upheld his four-year suspension in the doping case.
The decision represents another major development in the player’s case after a series of legal proceedings undertaken by Ramadan Sobhi and his defense team in an effort to challenge the punishment imposed on him.
Swiss Federal Court Rules on the Appeal ⚖️
According to the reports, the Swiss Federal Court upheld the punishment imposed on Ramadan Sobhi after reviewing the appeal filed by the Pyramids player against his suspension in the case involving allegations related to a prohibited substance.
The rejection of the appeal means, according to the reports, that the four-year suspension remains in effect, continuing to affect the Pyramids player’s career during the coming period.
The case has gone through several legal stages before reaching the Swiss Federal Court, with the player’s defense continuing to challenge the decisions issued against him.
Ramadan Sobhi’s Lawyer Reveals Appeal Details
Hany Zahran, Ramadan Sobhi’s lawyer, had previously discussed the latest developments in the case and the Swiss Federal Court’s position on the player’s appeal.
Zahran explained that the defense team had submitted an appeal before the court, but the court had not yet determined its position at that stage, noting that the holiday period had affected the timing of the proceedings.
The Pyramids player’s lawyer also said that the ruling had been expected during September or October, pending completion of the procedures related to the appeal.
Evidence Was Not Admitted Before CAS
Hany Zahran also said that the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) had not allowed certain evidence and supporting material to be submitted during the proceedings, according to the defense team’s position.
He explained that the inability to present that evidence represented, from the defense’s perspective, an important argument that could be relied upon before the Swiss Federal Court as part of the appeal.
That issue became one of the key points emphasized by the player’s defense during the legal process in an attempt to secure a different outcome regarding the punishment.
First Time Ramadan Sobhi Took the Case to the Swiss Federal Court
The player’s lawyer also explained that Ramadan Sobhi’s doping case represented the first occasion on which he had taken such a matter to the Swiss Federal Court, expressing hope at the time that this could prove positive for the appeal.
However, according to the reports cited, the court ultimately rejected the appeal and upheld the four-year suspension.
What Does the Decision Mean for Ramadan Sobhi? 🔥
The rejection represents a major development in the case, particularly because the announced four-year suspension remains in place and will keep the player away from competitive football during the punishment period.
The decision also raises further questions about Ramadan Sobhi’s future with Pyramids and how the club will deal with his status during the suspension, while any additional legal developments or procedures remain a possibility.
The case continues to attract significant attention within Egyptian football, particularly because of its impact on Ramadan Sobhi’s career and future in the sport.
