Hapoel Tiberias Football Club is preparing for the league's return and expects to welcome back two key players, David Keltiens and Niv Gottlieb, who were suspended as part of a doping scandal. The players' suspensions are set to expire next week, allowing them to rejoin the squad for the upcoming match against Hapoel Be'er Sheva. Keltiens and Gottlieb, who played multiple positions last season, were banned from competition due to the "transfusion case," a term used in the article for the doping incident.
Their return is seen as a significant boost to the team's roster. In total, five players were suspended in connection with the scandal. Besides Keltiens and Gottlieb, Guy Hadida has reached an agreement to leave the club, Jonathan Tepper's contract has ended, and defender Sambinha Kanda remains in Israel but has not yet reached an agreement with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
Kanda and his legal representatives are currently in discussions with WADA, and his return date is unknown. Despite his uncertain status, Tiberias has not given up on the defender, and it appears he also wishes to continue with the club. The team is hopeful for his eventual return.
