Samir Nasri's six-month doping ban confirmed

His ban arose from a photograph he posed for which was widely shared on social media.

Former Arsenal and Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri has been given a six-month doping ban by UEFA, European football's governing body has confirmed.

The ban, which the player's legal representative revealed to Press Association Sport on Sunday, follows an investigation into an intravenous hydration treatment the 30-year-old received while on holiday in Los Angeles in December 2016.
