- Hapoel Tiberias is nearing a settlement with the Israeli National Anti-Doping Agency.
- The club's disciplinary hearing at the Football Association has been postponed to October 29.
- Several players have already agreed to three-month suspended sentences.
- The club faces potentially significant sanctions from the Football Association.
- The outcome of the negotiations and their impact on the club are still unclear.
Hapoel Tiberias is reportedly close to reaching a settlement with the Israeli National Anti-Doping Agency regarding the club's doping violations. The team's trustee, Liza Chadash, informed the Football Association on Tuesday that parties involved are nearing an agreement on sanctions. However, no formal agreement has been signed yet, and the specifics of the potential punishment and who will be included remain unknown.
Meanwhile, the disciplinary hearing for Hapoel Tiberias at the Football Association's tribunal has been postponed to October 29. Parties are required to submit responses by October 27. The hearing, originally scheduled for Tuesday, was delayed due to ongoing criminal developments in the "Mirror Image" case, which led to the arrest of club officials. Investigator Dean Perger was expected to testify.
Several players implicated in the case have already reached plea agreements with the anti-doping agency. Guy Hadida, David Keltins, Niv Gottlieb, Sambinha, and Yonatan Teper received five-month suspensions, with two months deducted contingent on continued cooperation. Their effective suspensions are three months, starting from July 5.
It is important to note that these negotiations with the anti-doping agency are separate from the disciplinary proceedings against Hapoel Tiberias itself within the Football Association. It is unclear whether any agreements reached will impact the case against the club, which faces potentially significant sanctions. The October 29 hearing is expected to provide more clarity on the future course of action.
