Érick Torres lived a second youth in Costa Rican soccer. After losing sight of soccer in the United States, “Cubo” showed that he still has conditions in Costa Rican soccer. However, the Mexican recently gave positive for clostebol in a doping test. After several days of silence, the Aztec spoke about it.
The veteran Mexican soccer player considerably improved his level in Costa Rican soccer. This led Érick Torres to change Guanacasteca for Herediano, one of the biggest clubs in the nation. However, His positive doping test has kept him off the field.
“I have had ups and downs in my career.but without a doubt it is one of the strongest moments that I have had to live through. It is one of the moments that has made me grow the most and yes, you could say that it is one of the most complicated moments, I have lost finals, but this one does make me a little more anxious“Torres said in an interview with ESPN.
Why did the Mexican test positive?
Trying to find an answer to what happened, Érick Torres explained that the existence of this substance in his body is due to medical treatment. The Mexican had been treated on one of his feet to heal a ingrown toenail that affected him in his work in the field.
“We know that I never thought about doing that, the doctor and the people of Guanacaste He treated my nail and when they do the cures you don’t ask, I trusted the doctors because of what was done to my nail and in the end what came out was minimal“he explained.
In this sense, Érick Torres tried to explain the low amounts of clostebol in his body. “Cube” believes that everything was part of the treatment and therefore cannot be considered an intentional “advantage” for the use of inappropriate substances.
“When you have a 50% issue (of the presence of a prohibited substance) or, I don’t know, a chemical or a hormone in the body, it is obvious that something is not right, but when the minimum of the minimum comes out it is not that the player is trying to take advantage”he added.
In the last 22 games of “Cubo” Torres, the Mexican left truly impressive numbers. The Aztec scored 11 goals and provided 3 assists in Costa Rican soccer. Without a doubt it was the resurgence of his career. The 30-year-old player awaits the resolution of his case, but insists that taking advantage of substance use It is not in their values.
“The issue of anti-doping or betting has always been instilled in me. and in my conscience is what we have exposed before the Anti-Doping Commission, what we exposed in the hearings with our defense is that the intention is never to take advantage of rivals or to be better for things off the court to take advantage, it is one thing that is not like that and That’s why I feel clear of conscience, my soul is calm because I would never do anything to harm the sport or want to take advantage over rivals.“, he concluded.
