UEFA accused of covering up Sergio Ramos after defender failed drugs test following Champions League final

UEFA reportedly covered for Real Madrid defender, Sergio Ramos, after he failed a doping test following the club’s UEFA Champions League final win over Juventus in 2017.

According to Football Leaks, Ramos tested positive for Desametasone after the game, which Los Blancos won 4-1.

Desametasone is a substance that can be used as long as UEFA are notified in time.

The allegations come as part of the latest wave of Football Leaks reports.

Der Spiegel had previously announced it would reveal the name of a “multiple Champions League winner” who tested positive for doping.

A previous issue arose when the Real Madrid players only accepted a surprise doping test in February 2017, if it was performed by club staff rather than the members of the anti-doping team, which is against regulations.
