That was decided by the sports court of the German Football Association, as the DFB announced on Thursday. The 21-year-old Croatian has always rejected the doping allegation and can appeal to the DFB Federal Court.
The procedure had developed into a fundamental dispute over Epo analysis. “The defense was unable to provide evidence of a false doping finding,” the DFB statement said.
In a sample taken on September 16, the central defender was found to have exogenous erythropoietin (EPO). In December, the result was confirmed by the findings of the B sample. In November, Vuskovic was temporarily suspended by the DFB. Four experts hired by HSV had unanimously questioned the positive result of the analysis laboratory in Kreischa accredited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) as “false positive”.
