FIFA's disciplinary committee has banned Peruvian soccer captain Paulo Guerrero for one year after he failed a doping test, the watchdog said on Friday.

The striker tested positive for cocaine metabolite benzoylecgonine, a banned stimulant, following a match in Argentina on Oct. 5.

The ban, which takes effect on Nov. 3, 2017, prevents Guerrero from playing in all domestic and international matches and means the player will miss next year's World Cup in Russia.
