After Cagliari, the Italian side where he left in the summer to join Spartak Moscow, losing 5-1 to Udinese in April, the winger was called to do a drugs test. The 27-year-old produced a negative result, but Spartak announced Balde had already been found to have breached protocol and had consequently been barred by the Italian National Anti-Doping Court, according to a statement on their website. The ban goes into operation immediately and runs into early December, with his country's three World Cup Group A fixtures, including Holland, Qatar, and Ecuador, all taking place in late November.
