Khaberni - Saad Eldin Saran, president of the Turkish club Fenerbahce, was arrested on charges of drug use according to the results of the tests he underwent.
The Turkish Broadcasting and Television Authority (TRT) reported that Saad Eldin Saran, who holds both Turkish and American citizenship, was arrested.
Saad Eldin Saran underwent forensic medical examinations due to the presence of drug traces in samples of his hair.
Last week, the president of the Turkish club was summoned to testify before the public prosecutor's office, where he was sent to the forensic center to provide samples of his hair and blood as well.
Saran, born in Denver and elected president of Fenerbahce last September, was interrogated last week on suspicion of involvement in the supply and facilitation of drug use.
Fenerbahce Club issued a statement expressing support for Saran, reassuring its fans that the club's operations would continue uninterrupted.

The Turkish club announced on Wednesday: "We have complete confidence that our president will overcome this ordeal with the same wisdom and steadiness he has always shown. He will turn this page and continue working with all determination for our club."
Earlier on Wednesday, Saran issued a statement rejecting the test result, asserting that he had never used the banned substance and pledged to formally request a retest.
