Hue handed doping ban

Hue, a 35-year-old midfielder who plays his club football for Harbour View, tested positive to dexamethasone – similar to a natural hormone produced by the adrenal glands – following Jamaica's 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Honduras in June.

Jamaica's team doctor, Carlton Fraser, has also been slapped with a punishment by FIFA's disciplinary committee, who banned him for four years for administering the substance.

A FIFA statement read: "The player (Hue) has been declared ineligible for a period of nine months after testing positive for dexamethasone, a substance included on WADA's (World Anti-Doping Agency) 2013 prohibited list.

"The team doctor (Fraser) has been declared ineligible for a period of four years after having administered the above-mentioned prohibited substance to the player."

Hue has previously played for the Kansas City Wizards in the MLS, and Sweden's Mjallby.
