Venezuelan international Edgar Jimenez has been banned for two years after testing positive for a banned substance, his club Carabobo FC said on Tuesday.
The 31-year old midfielder tested positive for the stimulant octopamine after Carabobo played Deportes Tolima in the Copa Sudamericana last year, Carabobo said in a statement.
Jimenez was banned by the South American Football Confederation (Conmebol) and his agent said they would be launching an appeal.
