Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho finally cleared

Mamadou Sakho’s five-month battle to clear his name is finally at an end after the World Anti-Doping Agency confirmed it will not appeal UEFA’s decision to dismiss doping allegations against him.

The Liverpool defender was suspended for 30 days in May and missed both the Europa League final and Euro 2016, as the governing body assessed the case against him.

Sakho was subsequently absolved of any wrongdoing after UEFA resolved that the traces of fat burner found in his drugs test following a Europa League clash at Manchester United in March were not in breach of doping regulations.
