In a shocking turn of events, Brentford’s star striker Igor Thiago has been suspended indefinitely from sports after testing positive for a prohibited substance. The 25-year-old Brazilian forward, who joined Brentford in July 2024, had been instrumental in the team’s recent success, scoring 17 goals in 26 Premier League appearances this season.
According to sources, Thiago was subjected to a routine anti-doping screening, and the results have led to his suspension. The exact substance and circumstances surrounding the test are yet to be officially confirmed.
Thiago’s suspension is a significant blow to Brentford, given his influential role in the team’s attacking structure. His absence will be deeply felt, especially as the team navigates a crucial stage of the season.
“Igor Thiago’s suspension is a surprise to everyone,” said Brentford manager Keith Andrews. “We’re cooperating fully with authorities and will support Thiago through this process.”
Thiago, who has been in top form, had recently scored a hat-trick in a 4-2 win over Everton and was named Premier League Player of the Month in November. His impressive performances had raised hopes of a Brazil national team call-up.
