PAPU GOMEZ has broken his silence after confirming he\u2019s been slapped with a two-year ban for a failed drugs test.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reports on Friday claimed the World Cup winner with Argentina, 35, had been suspended after receiving a positive test before last year\u2019s tournament.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And Gomez, who left Spanish side Sevilla for Italian outfit Monza over the summer, has now confirmed the ban.<\/p>\n

The former Atalanta ace published a lengthy statement to social media revealing that Spanish anti-doping chiefs have \u201csuspended\u201d his licence for two years.<\/p>\n

Gomez claims he \u201caccidentally\u201d had some cough syrup meant for his ill son.<\/p>\n

As a result, Terbutaline was found in his system during a test by Spanish drugs chiefs.<\/p>\n

Gomez says it is not an illegal substance for athletes and insists he has never \u201crelied on a banned practice.\u201d<\/p>\n

The veteran has now instructed his lawyers to take action before thanking supporters for standing by him.<\/p>\n

Gomez\u2019s statement in full read: \u201c1) I confirm that I received word from the Spanish anti-doping commission that my licence is suspended for a period of two years.<\/p>\n

\u201c2) I always not just rigorously respected all the rules, but also stood up as a strong defender of clean sport and sporting behaviour, condemning categorically any forms of doping.<\/p>\n

\u201c3) I never, nor do I intend to, relied on a banned practice.<\/p>\n

\u201c4) The presumed violation originates from the presence of Terbutaline in my system, which I accidentally ingested with a spoonful of cough syrup for my son, to alleviate his cough.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important to specify that Terbutaline is allowed for professional athletes and in no way does it improve performance in football.<\/p>\n

\u201c5) Without getting into the situation, I have asked my lawyers to look into the suggestion the disciplinary case was not treated according to the norms.<\/p>\n

\u201c6) I finally wish to thank all those who showed me affection and support during these difficult moments of my professional life.\u201d<\/p>\n

A statement from Gomez\u2019s club Monza on Saturday added: \u201cAC Monza announces that it has received today from FIFA, through the FIGC [Italian FA], notification of the first instance sentence of the Spanish Anti-Doping Commission, issued against the footballer Alejandro Dario Gomez.<\/p>\n

"The sentence provides for a two-year disqualification from sporting activities. The presence of Terbutaline was found in the footballer's biological samples.<\/p>\n
