UEFA hit France's midfielder with six-month doping ban

Nasri, 30, had appealed to UEFA for a therapeutic use exemption (TUE) following a multi-vitamin intravenous booster he received at a Los Angeles clinic in 2016.

Former Manchester City midfielder and France international Samir Nasri was handed a six-month doping ban "for using a prohibited method" by European football governing body UEFA on Tuesday.

That was rejected last March, as was an appeal in December to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

The method is on the World Anti-doping Agency's prohibited list.
