FIFA suspends Peruvian striker Paolo Guerrero

FIFA has suspended Peruvian striker Paolo Guerrero for 30 days because of an adverse result in a recent anti-doping test, the Peruvian Football Federation have said. The news is a blow to Peru's bid to qualify for the World Cup finals for the first time since 1982.
Guerrero had helped Peru finish fifth in the South American qualifying group to win a play-off place against New Zealand. The first game will take place in Wellington on November 11 with the return leg in Lima four days later.

Peru reached this stage by finishing fifth in the South American qualifying section having drawn their final group game 1-1 with Colombia, who qualified automatically.
