LIMA: Peru striker Paolo Guerrero has received the backing of players’ union FIFPro ahead of a meeting with FIFA’s president to try to overturn a drugs ban that could keep him out of the World Cup.FIFPro said the 14-month ban for taking cocaine was “unfair and disproportionate” and said its representatives wanted to meet FIFA as well to plead 34-year-old Guerrero’s case. FIFPro said the ban was “the latest example of a World Anti-Doping Code that too often leads to inappropriate sanctions, especially when it has been established that there was no intent to cheat”.
