The ban could potentially end the 35-year-old player's career and Gomez spoke out on the matter for the first time on Sunday, with a lengthy statement on Instagram. "The alleged offense originates from the presence of Terbutaline in my system, after I accidentally ingested it in a spoonful of my little son's cough syrup.

"I have asked my lawyers to look into the matter as I believe the disciplinary case was not treated according to the rules." Gomez was on the bench when Sevilla won the Europa League final last season.
