The striker was the top scorer in the Liga MX Apertura 2023 with 11 goals but has now been handed a “mandatory provisional suspension, which prevents him from participating in any sporting activity.”
The club said that the former Deportivo Cali star “has a period of five days to request a new analysis of the test, in accordance with the procedures detailed by the specialized anti-doping organisations.”
Preciado last played in Saturday’s 1-0 league win at Querétaro, scoring the only goal of the game.
