Soccer: Stam banned for five months

Former Manchester United defender Jaap Stam was today suspended from football for five months after testing positive for the banned steroid Nandrolone last year.

The current Lazio star was also fined €50,000.

Brescia’s Pep Guardiola received an identical fine and was banned for four months after Nandrolone was also found in his system during a random test last year.
