France Defender Saliba Left Behind by Team Bus After Poland DrawFrance Defender Saliba Left Behind by Team Bus After Poland Draw William Saliba, a defender for the French national team, found himself in an unusual situation after France’s 1-1 draw with Poland at Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund. As the team bus departed, Saliba was left behind, stranded at the stadium. The reason for Saliba’s absence from the bus became clear: he had been selected for a doping test. Due to the mandatory nature of the test, he was unable to leave with his teammates. Reports indicate that Saliba had to wait approximately 90 minutes after the team bus had departed before he was allowed to leave the stadium. It is unclear if any arrangements were made for him to catch up with the team. This incident highlights the unpredictable nature of athletic competitions and the often-stringent rules that govern them. Despite the importance of the match, Saliba was obligated to undergo the doping test, resulting in a rather embarrassing situation. Nonetheless, it serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining integrity in sports and the sacrifices athletes sometimes have to make.
