The suspension applies immediately and for all football activities, both national and international.
Ajax says in a press release that Onana was not feeling well on the morning of October 30. He wanted to take a tablet, but according to Ajax unconsciously took Lasimac, a drug that his wife had been prescribed earlier.

The UEFA disciplinary body has ruled that Onana has no intention of cheating. However, the European Football Association believes, on the basis of the applicable anti-doping rules, that an athlete has a duty at all times to ensure that no banned substances enter the body.
Ajax on appeal
Onana and Ajax will appeal against the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Edwin van de Sar says: “We had hoped for a conditional suspension or a much shorter suspension than these twelve months, because it was demonstrably not intended to strengthen his body and thus improve his performance.”
