Last updated on .From the section Sport AfricaAjax said Andre Onana had mistakenly taken medication prescribed for his wifeCameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana will take his appeal against a year-long doping ban to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on 2 June. The Ajax star was suspended in February, having failed an out-of-competition test for a banned substance - furosemide - the previous October. At the time the punishment was announced, Ajax said Onana had mistakenly taken medication prescribed for his wife. The Dutch giants claimed their 35th league title earlier this month - a success in which Onana played a huge part before his ban. Fifpro criticised both the length of the suspension and the fact that Onana is unable to train with his team-mates whilst the ban is in place.
