According to the Bombardier telegram channel, citing Relevo, Gomez passed a positive doping test back in November 2022, before the start of the victorious World Cup in Qatar.

According to Papu's own admission, a few days before the test, he was feeling unwell and drank his child's syrup without consulting the club's doctors.

Interestingly, Gomez and Sevilla knew about the doping case in advance, and their cooperation ended on 1 September 2023. After that, it was not easy for Pope to find a team, but eventually, on 29 September, he signed an agreement with Monza, for whom he managed to play only 40 minutes.
