As a result, the Italian National Anti-Doping Organization has suspended him until December 5, which falls in the middle of this winter&#8217;s competition (NADO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to a statement on Spartak&#8217;s website, Balde was disqualified for violating the doping control protocol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNevertheless, in accordance with the disciplinary code, any doping-related sanction applied by another national or international sports association, the national anti-doping organisation, is automatically accepted by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/theathletic.com\/football\/international-football\/\">FIFA<\/a>&nbsp;and must be recognized by all confederations and associations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Athletic understands that FIFA is awaiting translated English material from Italy before certifying the NANDO&#8217;s procedures and conclusion, even though the punishment is automatic and takes effect right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Balde has the option to appeal to the Swiss court while FIFA has the power to intervene and refer the matter to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) said in a statement that it was &#8220;closely following the progress of the situation&#8221; but anticipated that Balde&#8217;s suspension would last until December 22, which is four days after the World Cup championship game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On November 21, Senegal will face the Netherlands to open their World Cup campaign. Other opponents in Group A for Senegal are Qatar and Ecuador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On December 3, the knockout stage begins, with the quarterfinals starting four days after Balde&#8217;s scheduled suspension ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since making his debut for Senegal in 2016, Balde has amassed 40 caps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Due to an alleged violation of the global anti-doping regulation, Senegal winger Keita Balde may be forced to withdraw from the World Cup in Qatar.
