Doping case
Fernández tested positive for a prohibited substance at two in-competition controls in May 2015, and was subsequently handed a 3-month ban from sports by AFA, with the ban ending 3 September 2015.[2] The South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) did however seek a two-year ban for him, and he was still suspended in late September 2015.[3] On 28 October it was announced that he had been banned for two years. The substance he had tested positive for was cocaine.[4]
Due to all of those positive drug results, he was moved to the reserve team of Racing Club in 2016.[5]
