Hapoel Tiberias Football Club is preparing for the league's return and expects to be reinforced by two players, David Keltins and Niv Gottlieb, whose return from a doping-related suspension has been approved. The pair, who played multiple positions last season, were banned as part of a doping case involving infusions. Their suspensions are set to expire next week, making them eligible to play in Tiberias's upcoming match against Hapoel Be'er Sheva.
Keltins and Gottlieb are considered significant additions to bolster the team's roster. In total, five players were suspended in connection with the case. Besides Keltins and Gottlieb, Guy Hadida has reached an agreement to leave the club, Jonathan Tepper has finished his contract, 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 team are currently in discussions with WADA, and his return date is unknown. Despite initially staying abroad, Kanda appears eager to continue with the club, and Tiberias has not given up on his services.
