The chairman of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee has decided to provisionally suspend a Guam international footballer for an initial period of 30 days and opened disciplinary proceedings following an adverse analytical finding in relation to a doping control conducted after the 2018 FIFA World Cup™ qualifier between Oman and Guam played in Muscat on 24 March 2016.
