Atalanta professional tested positive: doping case in the Italian Serie A

Status: 07/27/2022 07:21 a.m

Atalanta Bergamo defender Jose Luis Palomino has tested positive for an anabolic steroid.

The 32-year-old Argentine was then provisionally suspended. This was announced by the Italian anti-doping authority on Tuesday evening (07/26/2022).

Means from bodybuilding

According to the message I have one “sample taken” demonstrated the use of the substance clostebol. Clostebol is abused, among other things, in bodybuilding for stronger muscle building.

Palomino, who is now facing a long ban, has played for Atalanta since 2017 and was a teammate for German international Robin Gosens for more than four years.
