Vålerenga Fotball is involved in a doping case where the B-sample confirms the presence of illegal substances. This happened after players from both LSK Kvinner and Vålerenga tested positive for the substance DMBA.

What happened?

The doping tests were taken on April 22 after a match between LSK Kvinner and Vålerenga. All eight tests taken at the time showed traces of the banned substance.

Why is this important for Vålerenga Fotball?

The club supports Antidoping Norway in their efforts to clarify the situation. Vålerenga's club director, Harriet Rudd, says that the process so far has strengthened their belief that this is an extraordinary situation.

What's next?

The player who tested positive is not suspended and has been available for training and matches at all times. Vålerenga asks for understanding that they cannot comment further on the matter.
