Granada temporarily suspended contract of Tin Angulo, because he was tested positive on cocaine before Copa Libertadores final game a month ago when he was still playing for his former team Independiente del Valle.

Granada just signed him two weeks ago for a club record of around 4M€. If his second test will also be positive and he'll be suspended for a year or two that would probably be one of the biggest transfer fails in history. I wonder if clubs have some kind of insurances against doping cases which are not as often in football than in some other sports. They don't have to pay his wages during suspension but I doubt they can get transfer fee back if they decide to rescind his contract.
