The Egyptian Anti-Doping Organization (EGY-NADO) has cleared Pyramids winger Ramadan Sobhi of doping charges.

Sobhi, 27, was suspended on 26th May after a Barcelona laboratory reported “atypical findings” in a doping test. EGY-NADO investigated and held a hearing where Sobhi denied any wrongdoing.

The committee determined that there was insufficient evidence to support a violation of the Egyptian Anti-Doping Rules. Consequently, Sobhi’s suspension has been lifted.

This decision means Sobhi can rejoin his club after missing seven matches and Egypt’s national team camp for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Sobhi’s return is good news for Pyramids as they compete with Ahly on 22nd July for the Egyptian Premier League title. This is a relief for Sobhi, who has maintained his innocence throughout the process.
