The affected players are Joao Figueiredo, Jon Irazabal, Hector Hevel, Gabriel Palmero, Facundo Garces, Imanol Machuca and Rodrigo Holgado. Figueiredo, Irazabal and Hevel have become central figures for JDT this season in the M-League, Asian Champions League Elite and Asean Club Championship. JDT chief executive officer Luis Garcia said the Southern Tigers remain firmly behind Figueiredo, Hevel and Irazabal. "JDT stand together with our three players, Figueiredo, Hevel and Jon, during the entire period of their suspension remaining," he said in a statement. Garcia said the trio will continue training with the JDT first team and be part of team activities as permitted by CAS.
