Ramos' doping denial accused of contradicting leaked documents over shower claims

The Real Madrid defender said he had permission from the anti-doping official, but Der Spiegel alleges he ignored strict instructions not to shower

Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has been accused of contradicting an anti-doping official's report over whether he had permission to shower after a Real Madrid game, according to documents released by Der Spiegel.

The released documents, which are part of the German media outlet's Football Leaks coverage, are a response to claims the Real Madrid defender made on social media on Saturday in which he claimed to have been allowed to shower following a match against Malaga in April this year.
