Top Flight Star, 26, Banned for Two Years After Testing positive...

  • Ibrahima Niane, a 26-year-old Angers striker, received a two-year ban in May 2025 after testing positive for ecstasy and MDMA.
  • The ban followed a training-ground incident in early April when Niane injured a teammate and subsequent positive drug tests by the AFLD.
  • Niane initially joined Angers on loan in January 2023, made the move permanent the next summer, and over the course of 76 matches, he contributed six goals along with three assists.
  • The AFLD stated Niane may not engage in any professional competition, training camps, or friendly matches until April 2027.
  • Angers released Niane among seven first-team players after finishing 14th in France's top flight, reflecting club-wide changes amid the ban.
