Alonso’s side were preparing for their دوري أبطال أوروبا صدام ضد مرسيليا on Monday morning at the Valdebebas training complex when the Spanish Anti-Doping Commission’s (CELAD) team arrived to conduct doping tests. Six Real players were tested, and this caused a one-hour delay in their training session, just a day before such an important opening game.
Madrid complained about the sudden tests, كادينا سير reports, and blamed La Liga, but Tebas has clarified that his organisation does not have the jurisdiction to enforce such tests. He said at a Panini event: “We have no jurisdiction and never have. They explain that La Liga is to blame for everything and it’s impossible that we sent them.”
In the wake of Dean Huijsen’s red card in the win against ريال سوسيداد on Saturday, Madrid have escalated their complaints about refereeing standards in the Spanish top-flight. They have filed a detailed report to FIFA citing inconsistencies in officiating and have even referenced the Negreira case, which revolved around payments totalling around €7 million from برشلونة to former referees’ chief Jose Maria Enriquez Negreira between 2001 and 2018.
“I haven’t seen any report on ريال مدريد‘s penalties. It’s curious,” Tebas said. “Let it be a complete report. Let everyone draw their own conclusions. They’re only seeking to damage the competition.”
After the upset over the drugs tests, Madrid will hope to get their Champions League campaign off to a winning start. Alonso’s men take on Marseille in the Spanish capital on Tuesday having won all four of their competitive matches this season.
