Dinos Mitoglou received a 2.5-year suspension for testing positive in anti-doping control, Makis Serapisos from SDNA reports.

According to the report, the substance Mitoglou had taken is one of the heaviest on the WADA-banned substances list. Even though Mitoglou collaborated in the investigation, the Greek forward received a harsh penalty.

SDNA also adds that Mitoglou has the right to appeal to the FIBA sports judge, and then he can also go to the CAS, which would make the final decision.

Dinos Mitoglou tested positive in the anti-doping control performed after the AX Armani Milangame against Panathinaikos OPAP Athens last March.

"The doctor assured me that the tablets were 'a miracle drug from Russia'," Mitoglou said in court documents. "She gave me a clear serum. After my related question, she answered me that this serum would help to cleanse my body."

The female doctor is said to have promised treatments that helped treat various things, from repairing injuries or boosting athletic performance to increasing libido or fighting aging.

She is said to have administered drugs to a number of athletes, actors, and TV presenters in Greece. The local police have sincearrested the doctor.

Mitoglou is said to have turned to the now-infamous doctor after he suffered a foot fracture earlier in the 2021-22 season.

Mitoglou's last game was on March 10, 2022, against Real Madrid. In the 2021-22 season for EA7 Emporio Armani Milan, the 26-year-old Greek averaged 7.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 9.2 PIR.
