Ramadan Sobhi Saga: When Egyptian Giants Team Up to Challenge a Doping Ban

Update from Ramadan Sobhi's Legal Team

Ramadan Sobhi's lawyer, Hani Zahran, issued a formal statement to clarify how the player's legal team is operating.

Sobhi received a four-year suspension from the Court of Arbitration for Sport for alleged manipulation of a doping sample during a CAF Confederation Cup match.

Zahran said in the statement: "From the moment the decision was issued, our defense team has been taking all necessary legal steps, including appeals and preparing documents for the upcoming stages."

In the past hours, representatives from Pyramids FC contacted us to discuss the next steps, and we appreciate the club's willingness to support the file in this phase while avoiding sensationalism.

It was agreed that efforts would be unified with full, professional coordination between the club's legal team and Sobhi's defense to serve his interests in this case.

Our client's lawyer added: "The club's legal adviser at Al Ahly also expressed sincere readiness to provide the needed assistance during this difficult period."

Zahran noted ongoing constructive dialogue with Al Ahly's legal team to ensure a full, clear presentation of the legal position during this delicate stage.

He concluded: "Our ultimate goal is to manage this file with the highest professionalism and calm, delivering the best possible legal defense for Ramadan Sobhi away from any media sensationalism."

Punchline 1: If legal briefs were goals, Sobhi's defense would be scoring from midfield every time.

Punchline 2: In football and law, the only offside we want is the one that keeps drama on the pitch, not in the courtroom.
