<p>The 28-year-old spent last season on loan at Fenerbahce from Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli and said in an interview this month that the Turkish team <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/allan-saint-maximin-accuses-fenerbahce-doctors-urging-break-doping-rules-war-of-words-jose-mourinho/blt0634eba9dcd8458b#csb76fa4a4542b045c" target="_blank">"tried to dope me".</a> Moreover, when he was sick, he alleges they gave him a treatment that's "considered a doping product". Now, Jose Mourinho's outfit have said they will "exercise their legal rights against these misleading statements" from the Frenchman.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Fenerbahce said in response: "By distorting the facts regarding the medical treatment he received following a health issue, the player has attempted to mislead the public and damage the reputation of our club. As Fenerbahçe Sports Club, we hereby inform the public that we will exercise all our legal rights against these misleading statements and any attempt to undermine our institutional reputation."</p>

WHAT FENERBAHCE SAID

<p>Saint-Maximin's allegations are very serious, with doping scandals in other sports, such as cycling, rocking teams to the core. These comments could damage the reputation of Fenerbahce, and that is why they appear to be ready to sue the former Newcastle United star.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Saint-Maximin, who scored four goals and bagged five assists in 31 games at Fenerbahce last season, could be the victim of a lawsuit over his remarks. It also remains to be seen if he will face other ramifications for his comments.</p>
