Moroccan Football Drug Scandal

The Moroccan football federation has declared that five players from its Olympic squad have been suspended after failing dope tests.

The five individuals involved currently play for the clubs, Raja Casablanca, Wydad Casablanca, Moghreb Fes and Ittihad Tanger but were not named. by the federation, but the five tested for a derivative of cannabis resin were named by another source as Hicham Idrissi al Amrani and Zakaria Jouhari of Raja, Yassine Zocho (Wydad), Abderahmane Mssassi (Moghreb Fes) and Mourad Atta (Ittihad Tanger).

The players took the tests, at the Moroccan training camp in April and they revealed traces of Marijuana in the samples.

This comes after Morocco's African cup of nations team did not make it out of the group stages of the tournament, earlier this year, much to the nations disappointment.
