Lausanne (AFP) – Peru captain Paolo Guerrero has appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in a bid to clear his name and have a six-month doping suspension lifted.
The 34-year-old striker was originally given a one-year ban for taking performance-enhancing drugs, including cocaine, which would have ruled him out of the World Cup in Russia.

SEATTLE Paolo Guerrero was all smiles on Saturday evening. Not only had he just moved into sole possession of the top spot on Peru's all-time scoring list, but did so whilehelping his nation start the Copa America Centenario with three points.
Seattle (AFP) Peru striker Paolo Guerrero overtook Teofilo Cubillas as his country's top goal scorer, scoring a diving header to sink Haiti 1-0 in their Copa America Centenario clash.
Guerrero, a talismanic figure for the Peruvians who was tournament top scorer in both the 2011 and 2015 editions of the Copa America, pounced on 61 minutes to break Haiti's resistance.

16.10.2012 - Con gol de Pablo Aguilar (´53), Paraguay venció (1-0) a Perú en Asunción por la 10º fecha de las Eliminatorias sudamericanas (2014), cortando una racha de 5 derrotas consecutivas pero sin llegar a salir del fondo de la tabla clasificatoria (7 pts).
Paolo Guerrero bagged an assured hat-trick as Peru clinched third place in the Copa America with
an entertaining victory over 10-man Venezuela in La Plata.
Two goals from Liverpool striker Luis Suarez within 5 minutes in the second half was enough to
see Uruguay beat Peru 2-0 on Tuesday and move into the Copa America final.
Uruguay, which reached the semifinals of last year's World Cup, will be looking for a
record-15th Copa America title in Sunday's final against either Paraguay or Venezuela, which meet
in the other semifinal Wednesday in Mendoza.
Colombia has a thing for disappointing when you are expecting something from them. In this
tournament they had been great, winning their group ahead of Argentina, and seemingly with some of
their players, such as Freddy GuarÃn and Radamel Falcao, in great shape. On the other hand, Perú
had only ended third in its group, working hard, but without impressing.
Bahia defender Lucas Fonseca managed to get himself sent-off in the early stages of his side's 0-1 defeat against Flamengo on Sunday, and in utterly ridiculous circumstances.
Having already been booked just moments before, Fonseca went leaping in on Flamengo striker Paolo Guerrero, leaving a sneaky foot in at hip height.
Durante el partido entre el Standard Liege de Belgica y el Hamburgo de Alemania unos
desubicados se desquitaron con el pobre camarografo que segun ellos no les dejaba ver el partido.
Estos "hinchas" estaban de suerte que Paolo Guerrero no los vio porque si no les caia un
botellazo en toda la mitra!

Brazil face Peru on Tuesday evening. Dunga's men managed a 1-1 draw away to Argentina on Friday but were less than convincing. Against Peru, Corinthians centre-back Gil is expected to come in for David Luiz who is suspended. Up front, Douglas Costa may be given the nod ahead of Ricardo Oliveira.
Corinthians beat Chelsea 1-0 to win the Club World Cup, becoming only the second club to win the tournament twice (Barcelona being the other) and the first non-European winner since 2006. Though the match was in Japan, it was like a home game for the Brazilians with their large traveling support filling most of the stadium.
Brazil's Corinthians have just become Club World Champions 2012 after defeating Chelsea 1-0 in the final in Japan on a goal by Paolo Guerrero. A fully deserved victory as Corinthians seemed like the team that most wanted to win the trophy; Chelsea were good in the first half, and had some good chances that were prevented by an excellent Cassio on the Brazilian goal.
Unsurprisingly, Hamburg striker Paolo Guerrero has just been slapped with an eight-game ban for
his disgusting, studs-up assault on Stuttgart keeper Sven Ulreich's fleshy bits at the
weekend...
Awful tackle, malicious in it's intent and execution.
Hamburg striker Paolo Guerrero was sent off in the 54th minute of his side's 4-0 loss to
Stuttgart for what Bild is calling the "worst foul of the season." Stuttgart goalkeeper Sven
Ulreich was shepherding the ball out by the corner when Guerrero came sliding in behind him and
planted the bottom of his boot in Ulreich's calf.
Many happy returns...

Ich gebe zu, dass die Überschrift nicht besonders glücklich gewählt wurde. Mir ist aber keine
bessere eingefallen. Es ist schon gespenstisch was sich im hohen Norden abspielt. Kein Verein ist
dieses Jahr mit einem solchen Verletzungspech gesegnet, wie der Sportverein an der Elbe. Besonders
in letzter Zeit spitzte sich die Verletzungsmiserie doch arg zu.
Last summer, Uruguay shocked the world by advancing all the way to the semifinals of the 2010
World Cup. On Friday, they started their path to the next World Cup in style.
Uruguay, which also won the 2011 Copa America this summer, opened their 2014 World Cup
qualifying campaign in CONMEBOL with a 4-2 win over Bolivia.
Strikers live and die by their goal tallies, so I thought it'd be interesting to take a peak to
see who is doing well as the European season gets under way. Â Here's a snapshot, see the link
below for the goal tallies on an on-going basis.

The players above have scored at an amazing rate over the first league games.
Week 2 of the German Bundesliga was much like the opening week as the two big teams of the league
nearly duplicated their results from the opening round.
Champions Wolfsburg continued to show that they are the best team in Germany with their 3-1 road
win against FC Cologne. Edin Dzeko scored his 1st goal of the season and Nigerian Obafemi Martins
added The Wolves 3rd goal in the 86th minute for the win.
Bragantino's Leo Jaime scored in the first minute of the second half against Corinthians with a casual little backheel while running towards the endline. It was a skillful shot off a well-placed cross that Jaime gracefully executed and it put Bragantino up 1-0.
The two sides then traded goals, with Pato equalizing for Corinthians and Lincom putting Bragantino back up 2-1 within the next eight minutes.
