Zoran Mamic hits back at Arsene Wenger

Zoran Mamic says that Dinamo Zagreb beat Arsenal fairly in the Champions League earlier this season, despite midfielder Arijan Ademi failing a drugs test.

Dinamo Zagreb manager Zoran Mamic has hit back at claims from Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger that his side should have been ejected from this season's Champions League.

The Croatian champions claimed a 2-1 victory over the Gunners in their opening group match of the tournament, but it later emerged that midfielder Arijan Ademi, who played 90 minutes in that encounter, had failed a drugs test.

Ademi has since been handed a four-year ban for doping, with Wenger suggesting that the result should not stand, but Mamic has denied any wrongdoing from his team.

"Of course the result of first match was fair and doesn't need to be changed! Mr Wenger can wish what he wants but there are decision makers," Mamic told reporters.

"Or maybe Mr Wenger thinks he should write the law and UEFA's statute?"

Arsenal host Zagreb in a must-win European clash on Tuesday evening.
