The Israel Football Association prosecutor has demanded that Ironi Tiberias be put on trial for assisting drug use and providing stimulants, according to Ben Goldfarb (N12). The indictment states the club endangered its players' health, and the penalty could include relegation.
The Israel Football Association prosecutor has filed a demand to charge Ironi Tiberias with assisting drug use, providing stimulants, violating regulations, and failing to comply with a judicial decision, in the ongoing 'illegal infusions' affair. The indictment states the club 'endangered the health of its players' and risks their careers. The penalty, according to regulations, could include relegation and long-term bans for those involved. The Zioneer has previously reported on the affair: the club denied giving players banned substances in June, the Israel Anti-Doping Agency (NADO) suspended five players and staff in July, and NADO later demanded a 7-year ban for the coach and affiliated personnel. The prosecutor's demand marks a new legal escalation, moving from individual sanctions to a club-level disciplinary case.
