Costa Rica international midfielder Orlando Galo is in danger of missing this year's FIFA World Cup after a positive doping test.
The 22-year-old, who plays for Costa Rican club Herediano, was found to have traces of Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) following the national team's 2-2 draw with South Korea in Goyang last month.
"The Costa Rican Football Federation (FCRF), on instructions from FIFA, has already notified the player as well as Club Sport Herediano. It is important to clarify that, at this time, the player has not been disqualified from participating in any competition, because FIFA's decision is awaited," the FCRF said in a statement on Tuesday, reports Xinhua.
