Ironi Tiberias players seek plea deals with Israel’s National Anti-Doping Agency

According to Maariv, following the plea agreement reached by three Ironi Tiberias players—Guy Hadida, David Keltjens, and Niv Gottlieb—who accepted a three-month suspension and will be eligible to return in early October, other players involved in the doping case are now seeking similar resolutions. Sambinha, the team's defender who has been residing in Portugal since the summer, initially did not retain legal counsel, which delayed his proceedings. He is now attempting to reach a plea deal with the National Anti-Doping Agency of Israel, which has shown flexibility, expressing a belief that the players acted in good faith. Meanwhile, behind-the-scenes discussions are underway regarding Yonatan Teper, whose contract with Tiberias has expired, in an effort to include him in a similar agreement. The agency stated that once the cases of these players are resolved, it will proceed to address other individuals involved in the matter.
