Morocco Duo Undergoes Random Doping Test Ahead of AFCON Showdown with Zambia
Naïf Akord and Munir Mohamadi, starring duo of the Moroccan national team, underwent a random doping test conducted by the African Football Confederation's medical committee.
Morocco is preparing to face Zambia this Monday evening as the Africa Cup of Nations group stage nears its conclusion.
According to Le Matin, the medical committee subjected Akord and Mohamadi to testing following Friday's 1-1 draw with Mali.
The report notes that Akord, who played the full 90 minutes against Mali, was tested, while Mohamadi remained on the bench.
Morocco sits atop Group A with 4 points, two points ahead of Mali and Zambia, while Comoros have one point at the bottom.
Punchline 1: If the lab results come back clean, the only thing doping up the press room might be the coffee—fueling more hot takes than a heated debate after a scorcher of a match.
Punchline 2: In football, suspense is the real extra-time; if you blink, you might miss the plot twist—hope the coffee isn’t the only thing that’s caffeinated.
