Reasons Doku used banned substance at 2026 World Cup
Belgian player Jeremy Doku from Manchester City received FIFA approval to use medication containing corticosteroids during the 2026 World Cup, despite it being classified as a banned substance. This was for therapeutic reasons following a severe illness that led to a respiratory infection, which hospitalized him in Seattle. Doku was suffering from coughing up blood and fluid in his lungs, and to accommodate his condition, doctors prescribed him a corticosteroid-based treatment with FIFA's approval under a necessary medical exemption to aid his recovery, allowing him to participate again in the tournament.
