Former Arsenal and Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri has doping ban increased to 18 months after appeal

Samir Nasri has had his doping ban increased from six to 18 months following an appeal against the original sanction by UEFA's ethics and disciplinary inspector.

In February, Nasri was given a six-month ban after receiving an intravenous treatment at a Los Angeles clinic in breach of the World Anti-Doping Agency's rules.

UEFA's ethics and disciplinary inspector argued that ban was insufficient and on Wednesday the European governing body extended his suspension to 18 months.

The ban is backdated to July 1, 2017, even though Nasri has played since then, making eight appearances for Antalyaspor in Turkey between signing in August 2017 and leaving in January this year.

Nasri, who is a free agent, can return to training with any club from November.
