Tottenham Women forward Chioma Ubogagu has received a nine-month ban from football after an anti-doping violation.
The FA and an independent tribunal came to the decision in April, meaning the ex-England international, who scored on her international debut in 2018, will be banned from playing until October after a provisional suspension was imposed in January.
The governing body accepted Ubogagu, 29, did not take the banned substance, canrenone, in order to deliberately gain an illegal advantage. It is banned by World Anti-Doping Agency because it is sometimes used as a masking agent.
She said: 'I am so sorry to my teammates and staff that I can't be out on the pitch.
