The sports court of the German Football Association has postponed the third day of the hearing in the case of Mario Vuskovic from the second division club Hamburger SV, which was scheduled for Friday, by a week to March 17th.
The player’s attorney has submitted a new comprehensive defense brief, which also includes, as an annex, four new supplemental assessments by Scientific Advisors.
The necessary and proper discussion of this would no longer have been possible by the original date on this Friday,” explained Stephan Oberholz, chairman of the sports court.
Vuskovic is suspected of violating anti-doping rules. Exogenous erythropoietin (EPO) was detected in a doping sample taken on September 16, 2022. This is a prohibited so-called “non-specific substance”.
That’s why the DFB sports court provisionally banned him on November 15 as part of an injunction. The analysis of the B sample confirmed the result of the A sample in mid-December.
