Mamadou Sakho to learn of drugs ban fate within three weeks?

Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho could learn whether he faces a suspension for failing a drugs test within the next three weeks.

Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho will learn whether or not he faces a suspension for failing a drugs test within three weeks, according to reports.

The 26-year-old tested positive following his side's Europa League clash with Manchester United on March 17 and missed the final eight games of the season, as well as selection for Euro 2016, as a result.

However, Sakho's lawyers have argued that the fat-burning substance that saw him test positive should not be on the banned list, leading UEFA to conduct its own investigation.

European football's governing body initially imposed a 30-day suspension on the France international, but that was not renewed following its expiration last month.

A provisional date has been set for early July for the disciplinary hearing, where Sakho could learn whether he will face further sanctions.
