    Vasco da Gama striker Romario has revealed he has tested positive for banned substance finasteride.

    The 41-year-old called a press conference where he announced he tested positive for the substance following the 2-2 draw between Vasco and Palmeiras on October 28.

    Romario claims he was using finasteride to treat hair loss and although it is the active ingredient in anti-baldness drug Propecia, the drug is banned by the World Anti-Doping Code because it can mask the use of anabolic steroids.

    The former FIFA World Player of the Year insisted he would not let the result end his career and will await a hearing before Brazil’s sport tribunal.
