Portugal coach Queiroz suspended for 6 months

Soccer Betting Lines

09/02/2010 - Lisbon, Portugal (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Portugal coach Carlos Queiroz was handed a six-month suspension Thursday by the country's anti-doping agency, ruling that he disrupted anti-doping tests ahead of the World Cup.

Queiroz was previously suspended by the Portuguese Football Federation for the incident, which occurred at a pre-World Cup camp. Queiroz was disorderly and acted aggressively toward the testers, who he felt disturbed the squad during its preparations.

The 57-year-old was already set to miss Portugal's Euro 2012 qualifying games against Cyprus and Norway this month, and will now miss games against Denmark and Iceland in October, unless his ban is overturned by Court of Arbitration for Sport.
